If you can develop as quickly in PHP as you can with RoR, then you are not using RoR to it's full potential.

- boundlessdreamz 17y agoThat is quite true. Even when using frameworks, PHP code is more verbose. Also PHP has a proliferation of frameworks, so you may come across different frameworks in different projects reducing your efficieny. Since Django and RoR dominate in python and ruby respectively, the issue doesn't arise as much
- breck 17y agoI strongly disagree. Maybe for a few classes of web apps, but if you know the LAMP stack well, you can create any type of web app you want in a flash. RoR locks you down to building conventional CRUD sites.
- knieveltech 17y agoI disagree based solely on the fact that there are multiple fully featured Open Source CMS's currently available that use PHP. No way anyone's coding (for example) a CMS faster than I can download and install a copy of Drupal, Joomla, or Wordpress.
