Sam's presentation at OSCON, last month's major software conference held in Portland, Oregon, went very well. There are several language features hailed in Rails but little-utilised in PHP5, and Sam did well to explain them.
You can see the slides at rails-envy.pdf (924 kb). Feel free to ask questions by commenting below...

Quite right, Steve - which is why we're trying to grow our developer community. It's a bit of a chicken & egg problem, but with things like Google Summer of Code, we're getting there, step by step!

Sam seems to have forgotten one critical factor with his presentation. RoR is trendy primarily because it is well supported on the developer end and boasts a lot of available plugins for the framework.
Any "trendy" PHP framework will only succeed by having a large user group well-aquainted with the framework and dedicated plugin-making community.
People wouldn't bother with Rails if it was an obscure framework with no extensibility.
