Rails - Jul 2006 - I''m not the biggest fan of rants but, anyone fancy responding to this?

There (yet) another discussion going on on the O''Reilly web logs about
J E5, complexity and the competitors (i.e. Rails et al). See
http://www.oreillynet.com/windows/blog/2006/07/the_beginning_of_the_end_for_j.html.

Seems this was spawned by my own article available at:
http://www.soaranch.com/articles/2006/7/11/soa-and-rails-part-1.html.

My response to this discussion is at:
http://www.russmiles.com/home/2006/7/13/my-focus-getting-things-done.html

Would be great to hear the voices of the Rails community if anyone has 5 minutes
to spend?

Cheers,
