Rails is a ghetto? Zed Shaw goes to war with Rails and the Rails community

Damn, he sure does go to town with this one. I didn’t know things were so messed up for him regarding Rails. Its a real shame to see him want to leave so bad cause the guy is brilliant and we all love Mongrel. It is almost hard to believe some of it but then again I’ve heard a whole lot of stuff about the Rails core team.
Its a long, PISSED OFF rant, but entertaining none-the-less. I’m not sure just what to say about it all yet but I have to say the best part is the DHH part where he said they used to need 400 restarts a day!!

I was also able to get some of DHH’s keynote while I was sitting in the front. It is only the first 25min but he gives some highlights and insights into the future of Rails. This one will also be a bit shaky in the beginning but should stabilize.
I know that O’reilly professionally recorded the keynotes so I’m sure those will turn up eventually, I just can’t find them 
Update: GotThingsDone has the whole keynote up in three parts.

RailsConf Europe 2007 - Dave Thomas Keynote Video

As I was sitting up toward the front I just happened to get a few small clips of vid for this keynote. Overall the keynote was great and he brought up very good points and insightful thoughts. Here is the first 5min of the talk. It’ll be a little shaky at first but then I was able to stabilize the camera on the arm chair. Sorry, its only 320×240.
