None of those frameworks you've listed are in any danger of disappearing in the foreseeable future. I would no make my decision based on this criteria. Ruby on Rails is most definitely in very active development, and there's no sign of that stopping. Rails 3.0 is currently in it's third beta and is now in the home stretch of a final release. If you read any of the blogs on Rails 3 you'll see just how devoted the core team is to making this an outstanding release of Rails. As for the other frameworks you mentioned, I have little advice to give. I've not really used any of them so have no option on them. As for me ASP.NET is not even a consideration as it's a Windows only platform. Python/Django is interesting, but the little I saw of Python I think I'll stick to Ruby. Zen I'm not exactly familiar with unless you meant PHP and the Zend framework. At the end of the day all of these are still very viable options. If you like Ruby on Rails there is no logical reason not to choose it that I can see. It certainly continues to be my choice. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
