another language or development framework -- you do have to admit that
Rails has gained huge acceptance in a short period of time. In this
CIO article, Hal Fulton, author of The Ruby Way, explains what the
programming community did right, and how others can learn from it.

Nice article.
One important point the author dances around is that many products owe their
market share to relentless marketing, not their quality. This implies that
a successful Free Software must be twice as good as a commercial one to be
thought half as good in the trade press.
Fortunately this isn't very difficult...
