Hi,
Its been a couple years since I've done any Rails development but have decided to start on a project. Is Capistrano still the favorite tool for deployment or is there another one that most people use these days?
Thanks, Scott.

I use capistrano (usually with the multi stage extension)

It's good enough for me. And that's very handy it is supported by various gems.
Example from this week: It's nice to have all you new gems from Gemfile checked and installed on deploy. Just do "require 'bundler/capistrano"' and you're done. Same with cron table update if you use "whenever" gem for that. "require 'whenever/capistrano'" and it'll run required tasks automatically.
Also, I always use capistrano with capistrano-ext gem, which allows to have different configs for "cap staging deploy" and "cap production deploy". Pretty cool. Is there any reason to use something else?
passenger for the win!
