I thought the interesting thing about this post is that 37signals, the creator of RubyOnRails, is using PHP.

Maybe they use PHP like a better version of server side includes. For this RoR is probably an overkill.

That's exactly how they're using it, and why the original poster's "discovery" really isn't that exciting.

I don't care for it for more serious work, but if you just want to template up one or two pages without a lot of hassle, PHP is far better than Rails.

100% agreed, but maybe I'm a bit biased since I'm using mod_ruby + eruby even to build applications, instead of rails.
