Haven't all the cool kids moved on to Phusion Passenger? Is there still a compelling reason to play around with mongrel/thin etc clusters?

Yeah, that's the next trend. There are still quite a few people though stuck with mongrels/things and are still using God.

For our company we're stuck with thins because of a very specific way we're launching our application. Phusion doesn't have everything we need (yet).

EY doesn't support Passenger for their big clients yet. So all the big Rails sites through EY use nginx + mongrels.

However, EY does use monit.

EY is now offering Phusion Passenger for Nginx to their clients.

So it seems they have, interesting.
