Rails vs Seam?

Via the ACM TechNews this morning I see that enthusiasm for Rails is spreading. The linked article, entitled A Ruby amid computer programming diamonds, reports that:

"Ruby on Rails is swiftly becoming the tool of choice for many promising web application developers, not to mention certain college professors."

Having played with Rails for some time now I understand and share the enthusiasm.

On the other hand, back in the Java EE world, I have also recently started to explore Seam.

To me, both Rails and Seam deserve recognition as elegant web application frameworks. The primary proponents of each of these technologies, David Heinemeier Hansson and Gavin King respectively, are both undeniably opinionated. I'd love to hear a debate between the two, moderated of course by a calm neutral third party!
