Ruby on Rails vs ASP.net

Resource 1 http://channel9.msdn.com/forums/TechOff/165618-Ruby-on-Rails-vs-ASPNET-Deathmatch/ What I Left With: Use the programming platform that is best for you at the time. Resource 2 http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/msg/47655971c922b9e4?pli=1 What I Left With: Big project? Big budget? = ASP.net. Little project? Small budget? = Ruby on Rails. Resource 3: http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_blog_2.mov What I Left With: With Ruby on Rails, debugging is done in the command line. Want to see the value of a variable? You have to go to the command line and run a command on that variable nae. Wheras in ASP.net, using Visual Web Developer Express Edition 2008 , you can just hover the cursor over a variable and see its value. The former is preferred by me. The language format of Ruby on Rails seems ugly to me. I prefer the format of C#, Java, and JavaScript.
