Hi schruthensis.
You raise good points, some thing do need to be looked at.
However, it is unfortunate that you''ve already come to the conclusion
that Rails sucks. The Ruby on Rails support mailing list and the IRC
channel are both excellent places to get support, and had you asked
about your problems, people would have been able to help you.
For example, you mentioned deployment (FastCGI, Apache, etc). With
Phusion Passenger (www.modrails.com), deployment really is as easy as
PHP, i.e. you upload the files, define an Apache virtual host, and
you''re done. Phusion Passenger has been released for several months
now, and it''s a shame that you don''t know about its existence.
Other things, such as table naming, are also easily solvable. It''s
either documented in the API docs (which, I agree, is a bit hard to
navigate through for the newbie) or people would have told you about
it. You just put "table_name ''people''" in your
model. Done.
As for me, I started about 2 years ago. I wrote a customer management
system in 4 weeks, including unit tests and integration tests, and
it''s still running fine up to today. If I used PHP it would have taken
me at least twice as long, and I wouldn''t have written unit tests.
Finally, you seem to be under the impression that you can use Rails
without Ruby. Sorry, but that''s not true, you *must* know the
programming language first. It''s really easy, I only took a weekend to
learn the base language. At first, I didn''t understand Rails. After
taking a weekend to learn Ruby, I was suddenly much more productive in
Rails.
