It for sure isn't usable for a production site but it works very nicely for development. I keep Apache running with a symbolic link in my root directory. Simply point the link at which every project I'm working on. It saves me the trouble of always running script/server. Using cgi in this setup eliminates any caching issues so editing files like config/environment.rb don't require an apache restart like fast-cgi would.
