I really don't want to criticize my friends hard work. What the lads have done to rails is great. For me though, using rails is not pleasurable. Rails still feels like rails, and for people that like that great, hope it works out. I'll use it for work where I have to but for pleasure, I sure won't be. > > > On 25/05/2010, at 1:29 PM, Daniel N wrote: > > > If people wanna play with merb then cool.
