Exactly.

I actually like Ruby, but hate RoR, because of a very lacking sense of control, unless you are very deep into it. You have absolutely zero feeling for what it OK and what's not OK to do with so much implicit magic behind the scenes. And that's debilitating.

My interaction with RoR can be boiled down to this exaggerated dialog:

- Here, write your code in this pattern and it will work.

- And if I change it like this?

- No it won't work.

- But why?

- It's an opinionated framework. It's the opinion of some Very Smart People(tm).

- But this is my work. Why can't I do it the way I want?

- Because you are dumb. And your dog is dumb. You haven't grokked it. You aren't a hacker. Neither is your dog. Where are your hoodie and Nike Airs?
