Merb presentation

While I heard a lot of postive stuff about merb I had no time to play with it, but this presentation on confreaks is definitly worth seeing. Ezra Zygmuntowicz explains some of the advantages of merb. I like the idea of a hacker should understand his framework he is working with. Therefor no magic in the framework. The magic is for your code. What I found interesting as a Rails developer he also has some concrete critics at Rails, mainly at the Actionpack where he started refactoring some really old parts there.
