Some issues I think come from the early hype that it was the 'one framework to rule them all'. I personally love Rails but it is a bit heavy and shouldn't be used for smaller projects. But that's not Rails fault it was more a misunderstanding of Rails' sweet spot. For those smaller projects I now use Sinatra. That said when I first started using Rails, four years ago, it should have come with a warning sticker about deployment issues. A smaller VPS that could handle dozens of PHP apps could be only really handle one maybe two Rails apps. Litespeed, Passenger, JRuby, etc. have made these issues go away, but I can see how it might have left a bad impression of the framework. P.S. You think people hate Rails try being a Flash developer on here.
