There's two reasons I have no interest in Ruby on Rails.

1) The Rails-style definition of MVC is fundamentally wrong, flawed, and too restrictive IME.

2) Every RoR fan I know is just like that site. :-)  Let's put some Ruby without Rails in front of them and watch them wet themselves.  

It's still a funny video, though, especially if, like me, you dislike Rails frameworks in general. :-)
