Why throw out some catch phrase without providing specifics?

We all adopt certain amount of implicit choices in our lives because if we had to be explicit about everything, we'd be bogged down in choice-making and not really get anything done.

Why care about choosing the right ORM, Logger, templating engine when there's real business problems to solve? If there's a true business advantage to choosing an alternative, then substitute, but eventually you have to get on with the show and make something meaningful.

Strong defaults and conventions are a feature and Rails nails it better than any other framework out there.
