Hello,

I’m going to start development of a new app and I’m wondering which  
way to go on the framework choice.

I was leaning towards merb but since merb and rails are merging I’m  
unsure.

What I’m mostly interested in is which of the frameworks is more  
future “safe”, which will be easier to port/upgrade to rails3?

And which will be supported by the community in the future?

Best Regards

Since Merb is effectively merging into Rails and not the other way  
around I would suggest Rails. The reality is either way you will  
probably have to make significant modifications.
