Hi  
I posted a poll on linkedin to know what people think about open  
source application frameworks.  
People have voted for Grails over Rails till now. One of the reason  
might be performance (Grails on JVM). Do you also think same way or is  
it due to strong fan following of Grails in linked as compared to  
Rails?  
Even if it is due to more community members belong to Grails, still  
should it not be considered a positive point for Grails. While  
comparing two similar frameworks people also consider community  
strength in case of open source.  
What I know about both framework is that they both provide good  
features and almost similar features.  
In which area/aspect do you think Rails is better then Grails, JBoss  
Seam, Spring?

Best Regards  
Jag
