Ruby on Rails is the biggest thing since sliced bread! Ok ok, I am dramatically exaggerating it. Nevertheless, it is really GREAT! I myself have worked on java, struts, spring, turbine and many more frameworks but none can match the prowess, simplicity and speed of rails! I sometimes still lean towards perl when it comes to scripting languages but the combination of ruby and rails is just amazing.

There are lot of plugins and some great logical extensions to ruby on rails. Hobo is the new candidate. From hobocentral -

Hobo is an Open Source extension to Ruby on Rails that helps you build full-blown web applications incredibly quickly and easily. Available as a Gem or Rails plugin, Hobo provides a simple, clean and elegant development framework, which allows for rapid prototyping or production of the most sophisticated web applications.

Main Features:

• Rapid implementation of dynamic Ajax interfaces in your application with no extra programming.
• Switchable themes. Customise and tweak your application structure and layout to meet any design goals.
• Powerful mark-up language, DRYML, combines rapid development with ultimate design flexibility. The end of the cookie cutter blues!

I havent tried it but I am all excited to give it a shot! I will post my feedback after initial trials.
