Anyone here used this? While exploring alternative platforms, I've seen
several recommendations for using RoR...

I've spent a little time with it and it's great.
Search Google for "ruby on rails tutorials". Lots of info. Runs on
linux, windows and mac, and it's free.

It's a programming language & framework that orginated in Japan,
designed for rapid dev of web applications & sites. It's amazing from
what I've seen. PHP programmers seem to be exodusing to it in droves at
the moment. Example: You can create a fully-working blog in 15 minutes
-- including the admin, comments etc. But it doesn't appear to limit
what you do in any way (and it has some amazing AJAX stuff built in as
well).

The point is that you can quickly build a working prototype, which makes the
customer happy and gives her/him a chance for quick feedback on
functionality before it's too late.
The total time required to build a polished, tested and documented webapp is
probably not much shorter than with any other programming environment.
I have never used Ruby on Rails or Ruby itself, I only know what others
wrote about it. I could personally throw in Django, which is Python's
response to Rails - Python would be my personal first choice for almost
every task.
