I’ll let Stu and Graeme continue to hash out the Rails/Grails who’s-framework-is-biggerh^hhhhbetter argument. I want to call bulls$%t on two things Graeme has said in the two posts so far:
The first, and I quote:
Rails has zero enterprise penetration, let’s put that out there right now.
I don’t even know how to call the right people to find the right people to help me identify candidates for dealers who could hook me up with stuff to make me high enough to take that seriously. I mean, you have to be completely blind to objective reality to even type in the words, let alone make the argument with a straight face.
The second, and I quote again:
Since [Relevance is] a Rails company…
Please stick to defining your own corporate niche, bucko. ;-) We’ve got a definition that’s working pretty well for us so far.

Also, I recall listening to a Rails podcast where they were interviewing folks from Chase Manhattan bank who were using Rails in some projects. That’s about as enterprise as it gets (big bank)!
Handbags ;-)
Anyone coming to your website would think otherwise given you have the words Ruby and Rails plastered all over it
As for Rails enterprise penetration, sure there are isolated cases, but they are few and far between
Graeme—
Yeah, but we have that big J* word plastered all over it too. ;-)
And, well, yeah. “Isolated cases” isn’t “zero penetration”, even though I think you vastly underestimate how many “isolated cases” there are.
Regardless, I probably shouldn’t have even waded in, but it HAS been fun.
