  I started working with Rails recently, myself, and it's leaving me wondering why it fell out of favor. Can any veteran web developers shed light on that?

  As the author states, I find it gives me the tools I need and then steps back to let me futz around with everything. I can"t really ask for much more for my relatively simple needs. Compared to when I tried out Node.js and .NET, Rails just seems so uncomplicated and straightforward.
