Even though I agree with you in trying new things out, I think that never settling with an established tool is pointless. We are trying to get things done here.

Even though I agree with you in trying new things out, I think that never settling with an established tool is pointless. We are trying to get things done here. My point is, I like trying new things, but I prefer to stick with tested and supported tools when working in a job, and leaving these new things to personal projects or hobbies. Rails has not only a huge community, but a huge support of third party libraries that while they may not be the best performance-wise, they allow you to accomplish the project's goals.
