Ya you don't know what the hell you're talking about. For crying out loud, I would say Rails is probably the most popular framework of choice of YC startups.

- vesinisa 13y agoNot sure how to respond. I am arguing for concrete technical points here. Something being popular does not equate it being right. Does the YC community diswelcome those making critical arguments, or what?
- Axsuul 13y agoCritical arguments are welcome but baseless ones are always challenged. Saying Rails isn't a serious framework discredits the billions of dollars in valuations of companies using it in production today. Even Rails itself is backed by 37signals (now Basecamp), a for-profit company with serious problems that needs serious solutions for its widely popular product. Does Rails win in every technical aspect against other frameworks? Of course not, we all admit it has its flaws. But what it wins at it is developer productivity, getting shit done, and getting new developers up to speed. It does enough to enable a startup to get off the ground and become a million or even billion dollar company. That in itself makes it serious enough.
