I never really used Rails that much. I just tinkered. I was *really* impressed though. Enough to make me buy a couple of books on it. This was when it was very young though and when I still had enough Domino work coming in not to need to seriously consider moving to it.
More work in ASP.NET? I don't know. I just think ASP.NET is a good tool to have in my line of work where I'm increasingly being asked to just "build and host us a website to do XXX". I'm sure Rails is brilliant but ASP.NET hosting is widely available, coding in Visual Studio has made my work a tru joy and the amount of help and information out there is overwhelming. The only downside is that it's "M$". That doesn't bother me at all. I'm not in to that whole who's cool and who isn't. I'm a PC AND a Mac.
