Rails is super easy but, unless you're a Linux guru, forget about getting it running in production on a non-webbrick server. Where's the "apt-get rails-production-box"? I can't believe this still doesn't exist. Still WAY better than .Net though.

If I can dig up a link that goes into more detail about how to use SVN for release management, I'll post it. If not, I'll write something up. @Dr. Nic: That’s a good point.

It is changing and maturing and due to the large incorporation of it in the last year and a half in web 2.0 projects, it's excelled the development. However... it still is stunted by a grid-iron management team in the sense that it doesn't feel like a completely open-source project all the time, even though anyone can contribute. It seems still very core-dev team specific, but I think that team is slowly growing and many people are becoming more interested in contributions. - ben @ http://rubyonrailsblog.com/ I also believe rails is growing up, but in short, that is stating the obvious.
