I've been using Sequel quite a bit with Sinatra and just Ruby by itself in scripts. The documentation could be a little better (isn't that always true) to keep up with the rapid development, but overall its rather amazing. I wish there was a good page on the main site about why/how it is different than ActiveRecord. My other friends are always wondering, "Why do you want to use that instead of AR?" and I can't honestly give them a perfectly clear answer. Mainly because it works well for me. The absolute best part is that Jeremy Evans is amazing in IRC at helping out anyone with issues. I've pasted him huge sections of code that he's helped me out with before. He never treats me like a n00b, or flames someone for asking a question that they themselves may have even asked before. He's really a nice guy and a strong model for how a primary project maintainer/lead can help bring others in.
