The problem I see with Rails and the sooooooooooo many other stuff like this around is that very few of them have enough customers to be more than short term viable.
Nowadays, you can spend your entire work time learning new stuff and building nothing.
How long did it took you to really masterize Domino ? Maybe 2 or 3 years. Same is for J2EE etc...if you perpetually switch from one framework to another, you basically end up with being an expert in nothing and simply a "lamnda developer" who won't be able to build other than small apps in 100 differents frameworks ;)
I think this frenezy of new frameworks will have to calm down and the whole thing to mature otherwise customers will simply not move : would you build critical apps on a platform you'r not even sure it will be there in 2 years ?
