I think most of them blame WO for everything just because of either the URLs (I saw a couple of stupid comments about how "bad", in their opinion, WO URLs are) or because the Apple Online Store is down when they release new or updated stuff... But it's funny to see RoR/PHP people blame WO for scabality but Twitter generate timeouts or "overlead" messages everyday and they just have to deal with 140 chars message :-) Imagine if they had to deal with the same size of content as iTunes...
What makes you think they don't? They most probably got more users, more concurrent requests and more shared content (between users).

Which takes them to a range of problems that I'm not sure are fun to do with WO. WO is really cool with creating really complex interactioning, user-owns-data, lotsa-editing type apps. For a lot of other things, it probably creates at least as much problems than it solves...
Yep, I agree ... Have fun writing Twitter in WO. People talk trash about Twitter, but scaling anything to that many people is hard as hell. It doesn't matter if it's in WO or Perl, your awesome design is out the window with that many people hitting you. Not to mention, most of the cool stuff that has gone into Wonder from me in the past 2 or 3 years is a ripoff of frameworks from Rails. Framework battles is a waste of time. I'd rather figure out what's good in each of them and steal liberally.
