Not a pain to edit

What you're saying is that n-tier development is a pain, because the most common middle tier are your stored procedures. Where you really get the most bang for your buck out of them is if you have to migrate the front end to another language.

If you build your app right, the front end is the thinnest part of the application. Doesn't matter if it's ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, PHP or Whatever Comes Next, I can re-write the front end in a matter of weeks because the heavy lifting is done in the stored procedures. Plus, SQL Server stores an execution plan for sp's so they load data zippy-zippy do dah.

Still, I'm going to check out Ruby and see what it does well. It may solve the sp issue another way that's worth looking at. Worth a look anyway.
