My issue with rails is one of tone. There's something very off putting about the use of the word "evangelist" in the rails community. Everyone I've spoken to who uses rails gets this far-away, misty-eyed look when they talk about the framework. I love programming as much as the next guy, but there's nothing out there that inspires this kind of fanatical devotion in me.
I've been coding for a living for 11 years, and I've seen cool things come and go. Rails is pretty cool. It's not the first cool thing or the coolest thing I've ever seen, but all told, it is pretty good, and I use it and like it. They deserve credit for it too, it was a big leap forward compared to the other web stuff out there.
