I'm kind of in a state of disbelief that I'm even reading this. The "Rails is a Ghetto" rant? Everything you cite is from 2007.
> And even now, in 2013, when I have to set up a new server with Rails, even with Nginx and Unicorn and all the other systems to help me, I find Rails annoying to set up, especially compared to the simplicity of PHP running on Apache or a Clojure app bundled up with something like "lein uberjar".
Then don't pick Unicorn. Yes, Unicorn is a fantastic app server, but it requires that you know the app server very well, and as with all stand-alone app servers, the configuration is more complex.
Instead, pick something like Passenger. Passenger runs as an Apache module and is just as easy to get running as PHP.
