   After years of wrestling Rails in order to pay the bills, I don't advocate it. However, what special server are you talking about? I normally throw Rails behind #nginx or #apache.

     Mostly the toxic community.

     Depends on what I'm doing. Rails is fine for a lot of things but if it's very small, I'll use Sinatra or if it's just an API, I'll use Grape (if Ruby is the language required).

     Also the 1001 gems loaded to make it run, the reliance on ActiveSupport, and the shenanigans described here: http://stephencaudill.com/blog/2010/a-diatribe-on-maintaining-state.html

     I'm quite biased though, I really don't like web development.

     @cmhobbs I'm glad I asked; grape looks quite interesting. Although when I'm doing something small, I simply use the webrick module so that I don't have to deal with the lousy 'gem' system.

     Grape can be combined with Rails, as well.

     @gomerx @nybill @organian My GF was a huge Daggerfall/Morrowind fan, but I have (shamefully) never played them… yet!
