No, for real, from the day one I’ve been really shocked by how fast it spread out and every PHP hacker I knew went there. But everyone’s coming back, one really weird growing factor with Rails is the ability to find out that hardcore coding/optimized and realistically modulated is of real simplicity, not a mere methodology. Oh’ c’mon Rails made coding as philosophical beleives and religions.

I’ve been really turned off by it lately thinking about how it is widening its reach, good thing is, one can only find ways of doing things, and Rails might be an alternative and not the only solution to look “cool”.
