But those libraries, as good as they are, don't have 'Ruby' in their  
name, nor are they the killer app which has taken ruby from a very  
cool but obscure language to one with thousands of full time paid  
developers being able to work in the language.

Sorry for starting a flamewar here, but the anti-rails bias going in  
to the ruby-lang website is really disturbing. The site should be  
about serving the needs of the ruby community, the whole community.  
Both rails, and all the other good libraries out there should be  
promoted.
