I would rather take an easily modifiable, open platform that I can make do what I need in a specific environment. Everyone else can play with the “serious” software, and keep adding on gee-gaws until it tips over and collapses of its own weight. Which is one of the things that Smalltalk excels at - it's open, and can be viewed as play-doh in the hands of developers.

It can lead to new business models and organizational structures. It helps the architect to think in terms of an enterprise architecture that includes IT, rather than an IT architecture that supports the enterprise.
Did Rails handle this type of environment out of the box? No. However, Ruby + Rails made it easy to extend Rails where it was necessary. Since I was able to easily extend the framework to my needs, I’m now completely comfortable stating that Rails is “Enterprise Ready”. In fact, out of the box Rails solves about 80% of the problems I have, which is better than most “Enterprise” software I’m usually working with.
The recent mid-air collision in Brazil of a new regional airliner (fitted out for use as a business jet) and a Boeing 737 has people baffled. How could two brand-new airplanes with advanced avionics, flown by two professional pilots in

The amazing growth of Myspace, Facebook, LinkedIn and others have proven the business model and the demand. Yet, social networking is still not a common very business tool at the enterprise level.
