 From my perspective (new to rails, not new to web apps) markaby has  
allowed me to basically ditch HTML and focus completely on CSS and  
Rails.  With a well tuned reusable stylesheet (may I suggest the one  
I've been using for a Rails project, http://fullahead.org/work/ 
lazydays/) I can now create just about any layout I desire.  This is  
such a huge boon for my anal retentive styling eyeballs.

Looking to the future, if a drupal or phpnuke (god forbid) user were  
to enter the RoR domain exclusively through Radiant, I would expect  
the "wow" over magic markaby, than clunky radius.  Heck, up until  
recently I thought radius was something that was internal to Radiant,  
not a separate project.

Viva la markaby.
