Turns out I don't go through the most rigorous process to decide what technology to use. I've been using Camping for quite a while now, on a couple of small internal projects. I know there are other lightweight Ruby frameworks out there, such as Sinatra and Ramaze. So, why did I choose Camping? Why? Simply because Camping seems more interesting, and things should be fun. And maybe that question is part of the answer, _why.
