Discussion on: Why should I not choose Ruby on Rails ?

They call the pattern "convention over configuration". You could name it "magic over logic", but that wouldn't sound too good :-)
The major issue I have found is that when something is magical, the way the magic works can change over time, and there is nothing that tells you. That is one of the reasons why upgrading to new versions of Rails is never too easy.

(had profile issues, but it's me!) Thanks! I actually like "magic over logic". It's a good band name - but also very true.

It is a good band name, isn't it? :) Also, it the domain name is not taken :)

$ whois magicoverlogic.com
No match for "MAGICOVERLOGIC.COM".

Haha, that's cool. When you bring up the side just consider adding a link to my blog somewhere. That's all I ask :-) ;-)
