Readability of the code depends mainly on the individual programmers. Documentation of Rails is not good. Must say that Rails framework is nicely done but if you take look from business side you will still go with PHP. Eventually, Rails is very good but not mature enough and framework is not that popular. I don’t agree with Julik on PHP verbose interpretation.
