I made my first AJAX app with PHP/Javascript and a little help from Prototype/Scriptaculous for effects. Didn't have any major problems putting it together. I'm learning Rails now, and it seems incredible. It really does take most of the tedious work out of programming. I haven't had any experience with other frameworks though, so others might be just as good. My advice is to spend a week on each of them and decide for yourself. Even if you you don't like them, it'll be a good learning experience. I'm tackling Django next...
