I was recall reading that Ruby on rails has allot of options, can  
someone  
run down some of the popular framework plugins?

I’m not really sure what that person meant, but I am guessing they are  
related to: ORM’s, view template engines?

I really want an idea of what’s out there, in a summarized fashion if  
possible!

Thanks for the overview and clarifications!
