=============================================================== From: Joshua Estes ------------------------------------------------------ Why did you decide to build using ror? and posting Rails the easy college

=============================================================== From: Sean Brewer ------------------------------------------------------ It's actually a project we inherited, and it's getting too expensive for our clients to pay us to work on it. But in general, we've been moving toward RoR for a long time, just because it's so easy to push out really high quality work quickly.
