I think I must be the only person in the PHP blogosphere who hasn't said something about Ruby On Rails. It seemed about time :) We've been working for a while on a RoR project. Originally it came in as a really high concept idea - the spec was more like a film treatment than a functional spec.
So we set out to build a prototype in six weeks. At the time we had working for us a very talented Rails guru, so we thought we'd give it a try. Times change: the prototype turned into a production website, our Rails guru moved on to a pure Rails shop, and we now support this Rails app

Awfully critical, but you have to appreciate that the author speaks from experience.

"The community support is really immature. Something I know as a long time user of lots of different Open Source technologies is that a good community can make or break a product."
The first sentence is groundless and not explained by the poster. Ruby and Rails are generally promoted as being particularly community-based and good with support (compared to, say, the PHP "community").
