Quote from the article:
"I currently see Merb to be most suited for either small
compute-intensive web applications or for creating web services from
Ruby applications."

I read that a lot.

And while that certainly is one area where Merb is better suited than
Rails, there are others where it is equally superior. Almost any
complex service/site/application falls outsite Rails' opinionated
sweet spot and are, in my opinion, better off with Merb. As soon as
you can't hide behind ORM-generated models connected to a single
database, a handful of acts_as plugins, HTML-helpers and RJS anymore
Rails starts to fight you instead of getting out of your way. Or at
least it did pre-2.0 when I last used it.
