Answer 1

Rails follows a convention over configuration philosophy and has a strong focus on web application development.

This means that once you have got to grips with the framework it is generally much quicker to develop a web application than other languages. Many of the problems you are likely to face are solved elegantly by the framework.

There is a vibrant community of extremely talented people all solving problems you are likely to have and publishing gems that you can use in your application. So say for example you want to include authentication in your application there are three or four ready made solutions available for you. Furthermore because Rails is open source you can do whatever you like with it.
