I know PHP pretty well and enjoy it. I just started learning Ruby on Rails and it is VERY fun. It is simple and with rails it is quick to launch apps. I don't think i'm experienced enough yet to see the downside with RoR...but for now I'm happy with what I see.

Most of the time, when people have problems with Ruby on Rails it's because they fight with it instead of doing things "the Rails way".

It used to be that a big downside of Rails was deployment, but with things like Passenger, Moonshine, and Heroku, deployment is a snap now.
