I'm not sure, but I think so. Then again, it's difficult to say, because
I'm doing more. There is definitely a bit less boilerplate for me with
Lift, but not
I too used to do a lot of rails dev... Granted my lift apps take me
*slightly* longer to produce, but only by a bit. However, they do take a lot
less time to deploy and maintain because my platform is not leaking like the
proverbial rusty bucket ;-)

As a former Rails developer, I'll say this: I don't think I'm yet quite
as fast in Lift as I was in Rails, but I'm getting there. A lot of this
has had to do with switching mindset from Ruby to a more Java-ish approach.
