You are asking for a comparison of Ruby on Rails. This newsgroup is about
Ruby, the language supporting that platform.
RoR doesn't suck because Ruby is a very powerful language that provides
many powerful programming techniques. And unlike other languages that
force your code to be very complicated - just to provide those powerful
techniques - Ruby is carefully designed to stay out of your way. You can
write very clear, minimal, and expressive statements with it.
Size comparisons between programs in other languages, and in Ruby,
typically reveal Ruby provided the same number of features in half the
programming time and 10% of the lines of code. Those metrics demonstrate
how Ruby stayed out of the programmer's way!
