    where's @sublocked when you need him.

    I use both technologies, and I would say that one nice thing about using a framework is that it is a lot easier for another developer to jump in and pick up where the last guy left off.

    While PHP developers outnumber ROR developers, I would say that Rails outnumbers any PHP framework out there. So, dont commit to a PHP MVC framework thinking that it'll be easy to find a good developer later on.

    Also, a good OO PHP programmer can make a good system that is easy for the next guy to understand, without needing a framework. As an AS3 developer, you might appreciate that style of coding.

    Finally, they are both good choices (as well as .net, or Django for that matter.) I'd say - go with the developer you like the most and think will build the best system, regardless of technologies.
