As seen on various spots on the web, some people would like to throw names at each other comparing symfony to rails. Is it worth it?

Excerpt from jgchristopher's blog:

I really don't think there should be an argument. There is a language for every time and place. If you are more comfortable working with Ruby and you have an environment that supports/allows it, then go for it. If you are a Php programmer and want to make the most of your time, check out Symfony.

If you are bi-lingual then enjoy the best of both worlds!! Be aware though, Symfony is not Rails! While inspired by Rails, it doesn't mimic every aspect of it.

I really believe that this is the Php framework if you want to continue to use the request-based paradigm. If you are an event driven person then check out Prado.

Can't say better...

Ruby rocks, Python rocks, PHP rocks, rocks rocks.

And rails rails !

Are there no Perl frameworks for the macho programmers ?, all other scripting languages seem to have one.
