That depends entirely on who the audience is...

If you''re trying to convince someone to adopt RoR for development, the 
most powerful arguments I''ve done are to show an existing app with some
substance, then show how RoR makes life easier for the devs, faster 
turn-around for the clients, functionality versus lines of code (that 
convention over configuration argument). Show ''em a development 
environment, tweak the app in front of them. That''s probably what 
they''ll appreciate, and where they''ll see value.

If you''re trying to convince potential clients, scaffold something in 
their domain (and pretty it up) to get their attention. Make it relevant 
to them, regardless of what your last whiz-bang project was. My own 
experience is that people in general like concrete examples that they 
understand, you want the technology to be new, not the domain: "I make 
custom furniture, why are you showing me an auto parts catalog?" (you 
just have to make sure you understand at least some portion of their 
domain space as well so as not to look the fool).

Umm... what is it that YOU like the most about RoR? Those would be the 
easiest points for you to speak about, and work up an example to 
showcase.

I like Ruby, I like the MVC and how it is ingrained into Rails. I''m a 
huge fan of haml for the views. The combination of these things just 
sings (for me at least). I like being able to easily leverage other 
people''s Gems into my application. The Rails community is another big 
plus in my book, and to say nothing of "Fred" would be a horrible 
omission.  ;)
