After using Rails why would I want to go back to something that is clearly inferior
But seriously, I can remember looking at ASP.Net when it first came out and thinking, why would anyone write web apps any other way. Then I used it for a while and discovered by . I’ve been building web apps for a very long time and Rails is an amazing step up in productivity from everything I’ve used before. The company I’m working for at the moment was building a very complex web application in ASP.Net using C#, and I have to admit I was kind of looking forward to getting back into ASP.Net after a long stint of PL/SQL (almost anything is better than that). I’d been playing around with Rails for a few months at that stage and I showed it to the other guys in the team. The next thing I know we were doing a test in Rails to see what we could do. In a week we’d implemented more of the system in Rails than had previously been built with C# and ASP.Net over several months. This was with the other people on the team learning Rails on the way. I think that was what sold management on ditching ASP.Net, and we haven’t looked back.

What you are comparing is apples to some sour grapes.
Dude, I have never written one piece of code more than once in .NET.
You need to give it as much time as you obviously have given ruby on crack.

For asp.net, since the data grids are usually display only, you can skip step 7-9 and assign the reader right to the data source. I agree though, Ruby On Rails makes things so much easier.
