7 reasons to switch back after 2 years on Rails

This guy spent two years trying to make Rails do something it wasn’t meant to do, then realized his old abandoned language (PHP, in his case) would do just fine if approached with his new Rails-gained wisdom.

The point is: RoR brought us a great concept over a great framework and language, but porting everything to RoR like there's no tomorrow is not always the best of choices. Usually the best choice is the one we feel comfortable with. That's also my choice: I'm (evolutionarily) adopting some of RoR concepts on platforms I'm conformable with. And hopefully those platforms will get closer to some of Ruby and RoR capabilities.

PS: he ends up with a list of reasons for coming back to PHP. I loved the 7th: "PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES ARE LIKE GIRLFRIENDS: THE NEW ONE IS BETTER BECAUSE *YOU* ARE BETTER"
