Well put Paul!

I was thinking exactly the same while reading the thread.

Spent about 2 weeks playing with RoR and was extremely disappointed  
(otherwise I like Ruby and we do more and more workflow type work  
with it). Somehow RoR reminds me on EOF1.x... well, possibly after 10  
years will get where WO is now ;-)

I would also add to your comments that I got the feeling the RoR  
folks actually never done a really large and complex project started  
with legacy code and transformed gradually into a modern system.
