The amount of time I hear - Rails, you ain't gonna need it, followed 6 months later by some version of "can we use this library to add a feature which OOTB Rails would have given us if we used it".

What is bloat, and what is a useful feature you haven't quite grown into yet, is all a matter of perspective.

I haven't yet found a project where you know 100% of what you're going to need upfront, so having a bit of depth in the toolbox is serving me well.
