> I've been a .NET developer for over 10 years. Me too, and I just started using Rails in the last few weeks and am finding it a joy to work with. Way better

  USING Rails is a breeze. Getting it INSTALLED is the nightmare. One expects a learning curve starting any new language, but I prefer that to start AFTER I've got it installed.

    sudo pacman -S ruby && sudo gem install rails I installed it that way, wasn't difficult at all.

      Good ole arch linux. At least you have a shot at current packages. As for Ubuntu, it's a sad state. Installing ruby-rvm and/or rubygems from the the repositories can break your whole system.

    http://railsinstaller.org/ http://railsinstaller.org/ ? in general, windows support in the ruby world is sort of a third class citizen, but I had thought rails installation was a solved problem
