The hype around Rails is just insane.

It's not just a few libs (anymore), so instead you have to download hundreds of gems (in the game of 'good dev ex') that ships with activsupport, and ORM, ERB and even pushes an app architecture on you but you still end up using ruby. If it was just a few things like sinatra and sequel I'd (almost) get it. If it was a fork of another project like Merb I'd (almost get it) but this just make no sense. I'm all for making web development more accessible but this aint it, chief.



This but unronically


Sure, you win, chief :)


Archlinux:

> Arch Linux is intentionally minimal, and is meant to be configured by the user during installation so they may add only what they require.

They should have been like DHH, opinonated, convention over configuration and ship with minecraft pre installed
