Had I not spent the past coupla days working a Merb app (Merb, solely
because its not Rails) I probably wouldn't care. ;)

I feel sortof torn. I've certainly enjoyed the recent competition
between the frameworks. But I do think that the Merb guys + the Rails
guys can make a better framework. Atleast I hope so!

In my opinion this is good. Rails needed Merb. There are features
(principles) of Merb that should be in Rails and this is the best way
to do that. It also is a great example for open source communities to
follow.

Yay. I think the Merb guys will bring a lot of good to Rails,
especially around disciplined APIs, and putting more heavy weight in
one direction is good as well.

Plus, Rails is on GitHub, as is Merb, so anyone who doesn't like it
can fork and do their own thing. Competition and innovation will
continue.

I think this is fantastic. Why you say? Because Rails has mindshare
and you can get paid to write it. Merb is better implementation,
learning from all the mistakes of Rails and from its own first
versions. People I hear talking about learning Merb usually do so
because they're tired of Rails, but Rails is what you can get paid for
now. So soon, in Rails 3, you will get all the benefits of Rails
mindshare, etc., except that you'll be writing Merb code. It's like
if Sun and Matz got together and decided that Java 7 would be Ruby
1.9. Wow, we could all go out and get those great paying Java gigs.
Ok, perhaps a bit of a stretch but you get the idea.

The only fear I have is that Merb will be bogged down by the legacy
requirements of Rails. How many sacrifices will be made in the name
of backwards compatibility or supporting certain large user bases? If
it's a clean API break, then I salute the Rails team for having balls
of steel.
