Except, I don't think it's even all that easy. In fact, there was a bit of a meme I remember from last year in which people stated "Rails was never marketed as easy to use!".

I think in 2006/2007, there was a simplicity to the basic "get up and running" aspect, but Rails 3.x+ is a pretty large ecosystem with quite a lot of decision points to educate yourself on to do any sized project beyond 'hello world'.
