I'd say setting up Rails or PHP takes pretty much the same amount of time unless you need a really specific custom setup.

Plus of course Heroku has simplified it down to git push so setup times are a bit of a given now.

Hahahahaha! No, Heroku has simplified it down to:

- git push

- fix all the stuff Heroku complains about regarding which assets have to be precompiled and where

- repeat until someone who's used Heroku a long time knows your specific problem
