Very interesting poll. Sample size rather small but so is the RoR community. With so many gems and plugins available now I'm not sure how one would ask that question but I think that would be some interesting information to have.

What surprised me the most was the number of responders working on teams with more than 5 developers. I'm still in the advanced learning stages of this framework but I can't imagine trying to coordinate any kind of project in RoR with more than 2 or 3 people.

Now, it may be that when they say 8 or 9 developers what they mean is 2 or 3 guys working the view/controller code and maybe one guy on the models and database and everyone else doing the functional, unit, and final user testing. That would make more sense.



Yeah I would love to know more about the gems people are using but couldn't really come up with a nice clean way to collect that information.
