I find it really interesting and awesome that Rails and PHP are both (at the same time) in the process of (re)discovering the architecture described in Evan's DDD and Fowler's PEAA. What's old is new again! Rails has existed long enough to have a need (and a vocal chunk of the php community has matured enough) to think of apps architecture with a longer term in mind. I think devs are seeing frameworks as a tool to implement an application instead of being the application itself (as originilly conceived before Rails revolutionized RAD). Great!
