Besides that problem, there is no way one can give a “best” reason to use Rails over anything else. For me, I’m exponentially more productive and I love working with Ruby. You’re especially never going to prove “better” and “best” with text on a page. You need to try it out yourself and let the results dictate which you think is “best”. Jason ---

Okay. I mean, I love programming in ruby so I would like some help in order to make my work more comfortable. Yes, I made a mistake saying that aspx, php, are frameworks but my point is not that. I would like to find benchmarks, deadlines comparatives and things like that. I know that is more productive programming in Ruby by experience but I need a formal document that says the same think by examples in real life. Sorry Jason, I only have experience programming in frameworks in Java and Ruby, I don’t have any idea how aspx, php works. So actually I’m only experienced with the use of Frameworks. Any other comments? For example, articles that talk about performance comparatives, productivity, scalability and thinks like that. 2008/6/5 Jason R.

The only thing that really helps: First hand experience. Without that, it is neigh impossible to put the author’s claims in any write up into perspective. For example, you’ll find a multitude of write ups on why PHP sucks. But how do you know if it is an issue for your needs, if you don’t know PHP, at least in passing? What does that say about Yahoo!, who use PHP almost exlusively (IIRC, anyway)? Does it actually matter? Similar for .NET or Java. * * * Phillip G.
