Come on, it has a pretty obvious design. So obvious in fact that Microsoft is copying it for "asp.net" v-next. There is a lot of magic to rails, but let's call it "configurable magic" since __it seems__ most of the magic can be overridden (i'm not a pro). But to say it doesn't have a design? Come on...

I am looking forward to the next release, this one ain't great. MS MVC should go further than rails and will no doubt scale without much hassle. I wish they would just do a standard release of ruby.net in visual studio. yeah there is Ironruby but not the same as a fully supported release like C sharp, vb.net and J sharp.
