- Coding in Ruby is fun (lots of smiles when I see thoughtful design and guessable APIs) and the code just looks nice
- Working with Rails is fun for the same reasons - there are lots of little features that make me smile
- Useful and enjoyable little libraries like hpricot
- ActiveRecord takes care of the monkey brain SQL so that I don't have to
- Prototype and Scriptaculous helpers - rich user interfaces with less mess and drudgery
- Haml markup is clean and pretty
- Capistrano! Deployment is a breeze (with a little help from ActiveRecord migrations)
