I've enjoyed using Rails for a long time now and still do. That being said, I've started steering towards Sinatra more given the minimal startup time and speed. The biggest gripe I have with Rails is the long startup time. It's a real drag on test driven development. Waiting close to 30 seconds per test run while the framework boots really sucks.
