Well, at the risk of setting off another "get the stick outta yer  
bum, Dave!" thread:

- I like the joke.

- I think people not familiar with Rails won't get it and will either  
just be confused or will go out and research Rails to find out what  
it means--not that we mind, but why point out the competition?

- It's too antagonistic.

- It's too antagonistic of a specific opponent; it associates us with  
Rails (both for the good and the bad) in people's minds, instead of  
allowing us to be judged completely on our own merits.

- It could be read as an admission that Rails is the leader and we  
are trying to take market share from them.  After all, you don't  
measure yourself against the 10th place runner unless you're far back  
in the pack.
