I never really gave Sinatra a chance.
After reading articles after articles about how much better Rails is than Sinatra, I kind of swept it under the rug. I was sooooo wrong.
Sinatra is crazy light weight. Not as many bells, whistles, and not near as many headaches that come with Rails. It’s simplistic, and I like that. Today I built a fun Sinatra app and I had a really great time. I didn’t try to make it too complicated, just trying to get used to haml and getting into the groove of how sinatra should feel.

I enjoyed how some of the magic that you take for granted in Rails is peeled apart in Sinatra. Making my own get/post requests and assigning routes was fun. I may be overplaying it, and I know how beneficial rails will be when I take on a larger app. But I have to say that now I will turn to sinatra for low level simplistic apps. Kudos to James for making us play with Sinatra.
