I've been writing PHP for the best part of 10 years and have started getting into RoR in the last year or so. It's hard, because I'm not a competent programmer. I wouldn't say I have much natural ability or spare time to learn new things as I have a full time job, run my own business and have a young family that demand my attention. Luckily, my colleagues at the day job are supportive and through them, I'm slowly getting my head round Ruby, but only as much as the front-end stuff goes - starting a Rails project on my own would be a massive undertaking for me. Given the choice, I'll do things in PHP because it's quicker and I have more experience on it. Jumping ship would be like abandoning 10 years of experience so I can start from scratch - I don't have the time to do that.
