1,475 PointsRoR vs Other Frameworks
Hi
Well this topic is for discussion. Now, as we know one person was the creator of RoR framework. Now, when considering this with .Net for example which was developed by large team of developers. How can we trust a tool that was developed by only one person? even if this person is a genius he will still have issues. I know even teams could have issues but at least in teams many idea will be shared and the tools will be developed at best way with as little problems as possible (Engineering).
What do you think?

8,380 PointsRoR is open source. There's many many people working on future versions.
As you can see from https://github.com/rails/rails over 2,000 people have contributed to RoR currently.

8,380 PointsMy preference is open source as it allows for better innovation in my opinion. With something as popular as RoR the contributions will very likely be of a high standard.
