    <p>They are both fantastic, and can accomplish the same goals very quickly. I used a great book to learn a while back, and it would be right up your alley: <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1934356204">Rails for .Net Developers</a> </p> <p>Also, I wrote a post about <a href="http://naspinski.net/post/Learning-Ruby-on-Rails-for-a-Net-MVC-C-Coder.aspx">going from MVC to RoR</a> a while back as well.</p> <p>As for comparisons, they both have strengths as has been covered, but here are a few that stick out to me: </p> <ul> <li><p>I really do like RoR's deployment and simple ways to push to live sites - no scripts to run at all, just a bit of command line should get you up and running once the code is actually written. If you choose RoR, <strong>UNDERSTAND THE COMMAND LINE COMMANDS - it will make your life so much easier!</strong></p></li> <li><p>As you mentioned, the plugins are great, and can really be used to speed things up.</p></li> <li><p>As a .Net dev, MVC will be a breeze, I would recommend using Razor, as it is very simple and less cluttered than the old 2.0 non-razor rendering.</p></li> <li><p>.Net's EF4 can be compared almost directly to RoR's ActiveRecord, great ORM systems tfor dealing with data.</p></li> <li><p>I have found that .Net's documentation is a bit more consistent and thorough.</p></li> <li><p>One problem I had with RoR was the rapid and drastic changes; not so long ago, they upgraded to 3.0 on my host, and I did not lock my version - all sorts of stuff broke until I figured out the new stuff (I should have frozen my version).</p></li> </ul> <p>It is not a clean cut choice - both are great. As you are already a .Net dev, I would guess MVC3 would be the way to go, but both are easy to learn.</p>
