The only way you're going to form a worthwhile opinion is to try to learn about it yourself.

Have you downloaded it and gone through the tutorials?

What problems/advantages did you see?

Strip mining other people's subjective opinions from blogs is just about popularity, not facts. This is how misconceptions become an industry standard.

There's far too much non-technical punditry in the business. Either get technical or say "I'm not qualified to hold an opinon on this". You can't expect other people to do your homework for you.

Every day I get clueless "recruitment consultants" phone me up and start discussing buzzwords they clearly don't understand. Then they ask me to explain it to them.

If you can't form a specific question or back anything up with more than "some people like it and some people don't" you're not going to have a meaningful discussion. It's like saying "climate change is like the bogeyman - some people believe in it and some don't". If the discussion isn't evidence-based it's not worth having.

Ruby on rails is fairly easy to try out - It shouldn't be rocket science for you to learn enough to be able to ask specific questions.
