This framework has inspired many other frameworks and is one of the leading contributors of the convention over configuration idea.

Finally tried it out, but I can't really say it's my thing. Too slow (thanks to Ruby) and a bit too magical. Now all (web) frameworks need a touch of magic or else we'll all just be beter of hitting that low-level CGI thing, but in RoR it shifts a little bit too much to the magic side. Thinks like mass-assignment in particular may see great for ease of use and to reduce boilerplate code, but it's a step too far.
