Why I use Ruby on Rails now

As a former two-time Microsoft MVP for Visual Developer/ASP.NET, I got an expected amount of flack for my enthusiasm about using Ruby on Rails. Apparently, I'm not alone.

Firstly, I didn't completely abandon ASP.NET. C# is still my favorite language, and my main site is still based entirely on ASP.NET v.1.1, C#, and SQL Server. All my RoR devleopment now is for internal tools and administrative utilities, mainly because scaffolds makes the repetitive and often painfully necessary job of ADO.NET. I'm also doing some off-domain development for smaller sections of our site. So just for the record, I'm still using .NET. Just not exclusively.

So stop asking.
