Hi bluesky ,

You r right with your answer.its all depends on the programmers skills of accomplishing the give task with it.
* Ruby and Ruby on Rail's popularity is constantly increasing.This means that more and more support will be available to the community offered by the growing number of members.Chances are that if you encounter a more unusual problem, there will be someone out there able to help you;and if not now,most certainly in a near future.

* Ruby code is easier to maintain,cleaner also due to the "Don't repeat yourself" principle and scaffolding.

* You can now save time because most applications take now less to code due to Ruby on Rails's architecture

* Since the language has a growing base of fans, it's quite possible that new Ruby frameworks will be developed, better than Rails at the moment.
