Thanks for conducting the survey, interested to see the results.
I find it strange (and possibly not very pragmatic) that not long ago at all, rails was almost a no brainer, and now it's the opposite, even though there must be many thousands of live applications.
Yes, rails is very pragmatic – it includes a lot of what you need, so you don't end up reinventing the wheel. I like the philosophy still, and the third-part libs (gems) are top-notch.
The problem I have with it now is that I am growing tired of untyped languages. What would a typed & compiled ruby look like? I know some things wouldn't be possible, but if we could keep the philosophy of rails, I think it would still be a great framework.
