Ruby on Rails : RoR for short is a fast growing technology. Its potential is awesome. Not just for the developer but also fr the customer. Here is Why.
Fast Turn around times through "Model View Controller" architecture.
This also means lesser bugs and a standard way for doing things.
At a time when "time to market" has massive implications , Ruby on rails is definitely a boon for those who want to reduce time take to develop applications. Especially so if you application is data oriented. RoR lends itself to be open and extensible and so technologies such as AJAX and FLEX and supported. AJAX and FLEX have grown to be a need especially if you want your site to be eye catching.
Since the software is very standardized, It is a good idea as it make it easy for one developer to take over where the other left it. This make good business sense as it mitigates risk of human labour.
Its not without its drawbacks. Its slightly slower than some languages in the market today, but if you consider the big picture (viz. What you loose vs what you gain ) . The loss is insignificant.
