It is designed to use the full power and productivity of rails including layouts, partials, and rails html helpers while still being editable/styleable in a WYSIWYG HTML editor." The author says: "I needed a way to be able to use a WYSIWYG editor to design/layout my rails pages and didn't want to give up the power and productivity of layouts, partials, and rails helpers. I needed to be able to create html templates quickly that could be handed off to a graphic designer for complex styling, and then use those html templates directly in the project. I also needed to be able to take existing html prototypes and easily make them real. I wanted to be able to give these html templates back to the designer at anytime throughout the project if the style or layout needs to be updated."

Another interesting template system is "Liquid":http://home.leetsoft.com/liquid/, but I'd prefered to see this type of design choice within the core of RoR. Hi Don,

Also how is the django testing framework? Is it as nice as rails? What makes me interested in django is the better support for windows that python has.

What makes me interested in django is the better support for windows that python has.

Not sure about testing (besides the usual unit-testing and nose[1]) that is meant to ease continuous integration but schema migration has been developed as part of the Summer of Code sponsored by Google.
