Actually, I think Builder predates rails. DHH just packaged it up with rails releases.
Builder existed long before Rails. See Jim Weirich's blog post in august 2004: http://onestepback.org/index.cgi/Tech/Ruby/BuilderObjects.rdoc.

The biggest problem with builder: XmlBuilder?? WTF. It should be XMLBuilder. Go back to Java, loser.
I don't think builder was started as a rails spin-off. IIRC it was inspired from GroovyMarkup and .rxml views where added to rails quite a bit of time later.
er... sorry for repeating what others had already told.
I think that it may depend on the organization of this page, having the post form *on top* of actual comments gives the impression that nobody posted yet. Sorry for my dumbness :)
