Joel is an MS bigot. Also keep in mind that this is the same guy who
thinks structured exception handling is a bad idea, and we should all
resort back to using error codes, so you'll forgive me if I take his
opinion regarding ASP.net with a huge grain of salt.
Don't get me wrong - I generally like his column when he sticks to high
level subjects (and even some low level ones). But, once he starts
waxing rhapsodic about programming philosophy or tools....blech.

Subject: ASP.NET vs Ruby on RailsHI Folks,
Anyone here done both ASP.NET and Rails? Care to compare and
contrast?
I'm not interested in MS bashing, just the pros and cons of both
environments.The reason I ask is that I've just read on joelonsoftware
that he thinks
ASP.NET is excellent and is the best solution for server based work
presented on a website. I wonder if anyone thinks thats a valid
statement or not and can provide arguments for/against that point of
view.
