[Rails] Ruby on Rails Fans

Joe,
  
  Thanks for sharing the article. I enjoyed reading it.
  
  I wish he wouldn't have said:
  
  "Rails over PHP are probably either not using PHP today or aren't happy to be using it."
  
  Because now I have to find time and reply to him as to why someone with  6 years of PHP/C++/Java enterprise development experience would leave  PHP in a heart beat.
  
  I don't agree with many points he makes and have started writing on the story of why I am migrating to ROR.
  
  To be a good developer, you need to go with the solution that makes everyone happy.
  
  I believe ROR is the language for "flexies" and "stiffies" as he puts  it. And I am very new to ROR, but with years of extensive development  experience in C++, Java, PHP, BASH and Perl.
  
  Years ago, I ditched Java for C++, then moved to PHP for pretty much  the same reasons. How can I get most done with least amount of time and  keep my client and myself happy?
  
  I plan to post my detailed response to his article within a week.
  
  Thanks
  Frank
