I also thought "Clojure needs a Rails" some 5 years ago. Nowadays (multiple, real-world Clojure jobs later) I don't. I also learned that trying to second-guess why developers spend their time in certain libraries and not in other endeavors (like frameworks) comes across as pretty disrespectful and actually ignorant (considering that those people are very often more skilled/experienced than most of us). (Good related read: Open Source Is Not About You) So I'd recommend to anyone, open your mind, be ready to have some preconceptions changed, and contribute a significant deal to (Clojure) OSS to truly appreciate what we have. And write more interop ;)
