People have heard of Rails, there is 'brand awareness' for Rails, so you more likely to be able to get clients. Or at least it would be easier convincing them that Rails is what they want rather than something called Grails that no one has heard of. Even the dimmest PHB has heard of Rails and that it is *HOT* Not saying that there aren't technical reasons to reject Grails but on purely business grounds Rails is king. So your former bosses decision might not be a reflection as to the technical merits of Grails. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
