Maybe, but I think DHH is really busy :D

Seriously, though: I saw him speak at FOWA last year, and his "your
application is not a snowflake" line really resonated with me; the
idea is that web apps are 80% common functionality and 20%
specialised, and Rails is designed to get you the 80% really easily
and quickly so you can spend more time writing the 20% of your app
that's unique.

Now, I've never written a line of Ruby in my life, but it all sounds
so...attractive, especially compared to Struts ;)
