>>It's become fashionable to hate on rails, and honestly I understand the motivation

Well, they were pretty vocal about calling everybody, in no uncertain terms, for using frameworks other than Rub/Rails, an idiot. There is plenty of bad will that they've been accumulating because of that and this is simply the backlash.

If you really think you are the best there is no need to insult developers who do not use your frameworks. Unfortunately that is exactly what they did. People have long memories.

And in my opinion they deserve every bit of it.

The comment below by user mhartl demonstrates the attitude of pretending everybody else is shit.

The nerve to call other frameworks bug-ridden as if their shit didn't stink. Specially in light of all the security problems with Ruby/Rails that have come to light recently.
