One of the most enduringly popular articles on Rail Spikes is my introduction to Merb from back in April, 2007(!): Merb (and why you potentially should care).

Obviously Merb has changed a lot since that article was written, so it is completely out of date (I think it was about Merb 0.4 or something like that).
Fortunately, Matt Todd (who I met at RubyFringe—look for his talk on InfoQ one of these months) has a much better look at where the Merb framework is today, as it approaches its 1.0 release at MerbCamp this weekend. Matt presented this at AltRUG yesterday.
Check it out. (Also, you may be interested in Jon’s interview with Ezra Zygmuntowicz from back in June.)
