Re: [PhillyOnRails] Rails Diatribe

["Mike Evans" <mje113@gmail.com>]

I think that overall everyone has pointed to an interesting cunundrum
in the Rails community... on the one hand the Rails core team wants to
eschew "enterprisey-iness" but on the other hand commercially
supporting simple small-scale Rails apps can be a pain.  There really
isn't a great solution for shared hosts (which is ruled by php and
will continue to be for some time), and virtual and dedicated hosts
are both too expensive and technical for many people.
