Yeah RoR seems the new great framework.. did not have the change to try it yet but my host supports ruby...

But to many things and to little time one of these days those, I have had a look at the demo's and it looks so clean and fast.. One problem that it does not have such a large community as php.. and therefore still lacks the great resources that php has in terms of documentations and help.. Also I have stubmbled upon symfony and i was also very impressed symfony
