Hello Per, Good points. I must admit that I am looking at Merb from the point of view of one specific large project that I am using it for.
I still expect to use Rails a lot for customer projects, just as I expect to need to use Java, Common Lisp, etc. as whatever the best tool is for a task. That said, I am excited by the possibility of using Ruby + Merb on a wider range of projects in the future.
