it depends what you mean, but i probably disagree - popular frameworks have more stack overflow answers, better docs, more bug fixes, and bigger ecosystems in general

i do not use rails but it probably is the cheapest alternative (from an engineering perspective) right now given the number of available engineers + ecosystem

Not sure about the cheap aspect tho, in my area rails developers are one of most well paid.

fair enough - if you really want to save money - youd go with php

Worthwhile PHP developers are not cheap either. Unless you mean WordPress developers. (no, they're not PHP developers, they're WordPress developers. They only know WordPress)
