I’ve been looking at Seaside recently as a web framework. Rails is nice but I cannot get over the problems I see with Rails when you are not developing some brand new web application and database. My previous rant about this is still valid I think. In fact many of those shortcomings are repeated and some additional ones added in this blog post that is also looking at Seaside and Rails.
I think Rails still needs to grow up and I’m not sure that is going to happen very soon. It has some very good advantages but I’ve only found them useful in limited new projects with no legacy data.
