From what I hear, Rails has some significant limitations. Such as,
it doesn't handle Unicode, and it doesn't scale well under load. I
don't know these from first-hand experience but I've heard them from
sources I trust. WO has been around a while and has matured in a way
that Rails just can't hope to do in the time it has existed.
I agree with all the other benefits others have listed, and I'll add
that if you are an Apple fan, there is something uplifting about
working with Apple tools. Call it what you want - coolness factor,
mojo, good design, whatever. Although I know some would disagree
where XCode is concerned. ;)

Hi,
I am researching WO for use in an upcoming project.
Since I am new to this list, I do not have a feel for what is going
on with WO or the WO Community.
I would love to hear Good/Bad comments concerning the WO
Development Environment. Any comparison to Ruby on Rails would be
helpful, as well.
I might also point out that I am new to Object-Based Programming,
thus, I will need to devote substantial time acquiring the needed
skills. That is why I ask about the State of WebObjects... is it
worth investing one's valuable time or has it been superceded by
new, improved technologies?
Thanks for any comments.
Scott
