I see what you mean, but I counter with Plone. It's been around for 24 years, and the annual Plone Conference is coming up in a couple months. Still, you don't see a whole lot of new Plone sites rolling out these days, and there's no Automattic-scale company with click-here-to-deploy convenience.

Nothing against Plone (although I was very happy to put its foundation layer, Zope, in my rear view mirror). It's a fine program that's very good at what it does. But just because something's been around a while doesn't mean that it's still vibrant and growing.



Plone never had anything even resembling Rails' popularity.


So true. Still, you can't judge that from how long it's been around.


That's why RoR was a fad and Plone isn't.
