My answer to What is the best framework to use, Yii or Ruby on Rails? on Quora
This is a big decision, and it’s worth taking the time to pick what’s the best fit for you. I recommend going through the tutorials for each one, building the basic application they describe and seeing which made the most sense to you. As a Django developer, I suggest trying that framework too :)
If you just want a recommendation on Rails vs Yii, I would go for Rails. Ruby is a less frustrating language to develop in than PHP and has a higher quality collection of other open source libraries you can use in your project. Rails is also a more mature and more widely used framework.
