Sounds like Scheme and Common Lisp all over again. Every popular framework eventually gets complicated and tempts us to do a "clean slate" rewrite.

Rails succeeded because it's opinionated. I don't want to choose from five different ORM layers. I want one that works.

And Merb gives you that, with the basic Merb stack. And then when you change your mind later, that's cool too.

Merb is not at all positioned to make you pick, it simply allows you to choose.
