Absolutely - i guess I was more just saying think about the reasons first. When I started I was set on Rails too, purely because that's the thing most people talk about and for newbies it's easy to just see it as "the done thing" if you know what I mean, and not look for alternatives. I got onto Sinatra when I quickly realised Rails was way too heavy for what i wanted to do. But you're absolutely right, the best way to learn anything is to just jump in, and absolutely nothing wrong with Rails!
