Re: Necromail

I haven't worked on a WO project in years. Most of my current  
development is in Ruby on Rails which uses ActiveRecord. While it  
doesn't compare to the power of Java and WebObjects, it works well for  
the small projects I take on as an independent developer. I like  
having the ORM configuration in the entity classes which means no  
EOModler and tighter integration between the db tables. I also enjoy  
easy filtering of related records requests as much of my development  
maintains non-current data for historical purposes. I also enjoy that  
Ruby objects are never closed, so when ActiveRecord doesn't do quite  
what I want, I can see and override it's behavior.

There times however, that I miss the solid structure of the WebObjects  
and EOF.
