Does Ruby on Rails affect how a web page looks?

Question

Ruby on Rails is a server side technology, so it doesn't lend any specific quality to the user visible design. That said, it is a "trendy" technology so people who are likely to write their back-end code with RoR are likely to choose a particular "Web 2.0" style for their views.

As a Ruby on Rails developer, I can tell you that most Ruby on Rails developers are passionate about their work and we pay a lot of attention to details when building websites as much backend as front end. Its not just a trend, its a way of thinking and working.

No, it hasn't any display-specific qualities.

The theory is that RoR makes that backend stuff easier, so more time can, and apparently is, spent on the front end stuff.

Its all done with Mirrors. And CSS. :)

Rails is a very popular Web framework, it's just be coincidence that all the ones you've looked at have been rails apps.

What kind of sites have you been looking at to draw this hypothesis?
