In my opinion these are the characteristics of ROR that seem to me interesting

Instant Gratification
============
When you install the Rails framework, you also get a new command-line
tool, rails, which is used to construct each new Rails application that you write.

Create new app example

$ rails example
$ cd example
and you will see
example directory

README       Installation and usage information
Rakefile         Build script
app/               Model, View, and Controller files go here
components/  Reusable components
config/             Configuration and database connection parameters
db/         Schema and migration  information
doc/        Autogenerated documentation
lib/        Shared code
log/       Logfiles produced by your application
 public/     Web-accessible directory. Your application runs from here
script/     Utility scripts that are useful for developers
test/       Unit, functional, and integration tests, fixtures, and mocks
tmp/        Runtime temporary files
vendor/     Imported code

  
Testing 
====
then you can run the server  (WEBrick is a pure-Ruby web server that is distributed with Ruby , for development )

>ruby script/server  (Defautl WEBrick)

then you can test your sample application  
http://localhost:3000 



Convention over  configuration:
==================
Rails applications all have the same project structure, with directories to handle application code, database configuration, public static files, and scripts for managing Web servers and Web-based functional testing.


Immediate feedback
============= 
With Rails, most of what you do can give you immediate feedback. Migrations can instantly show you changes after updates to your database.


I think that the following articles can give you a better introduction

Javier,

What are the specific design features of ROR which you prefer over 
the Goanna Application library? I would appreciate as much detail as possible.

Thanks,

Neal
