Thanks Andy,
Actually, I think these simpler frameworks (like Merb and Sinatra) have
a real strong attraction. That is the lack of 'opinion-ation'. Rails is
opinionated and I have been punished a few times because I needed to
something different from what rails opinions demanded. It seems that
Sinatra has few opinions about how things need to be done. That can be
a good thing at times.
Blessings,
Nate
