I don't agree: from my experience (~9years of full time Ruby/Rails, including teaching and coaching) Ruby is not easy to learn, at least if you want to know what you're really doing. And Rails, as is, promotes several anti-patterns that will mess your app after 6+ months. Fat models are a bad practice, models as form objects are a bad practice, developing uour business logic almost totally on top of models is wrong. That's why some experienced Ruby devs are moving away from those anti-patterns by promoting real object oriented approaches: for some good examples check hanami web framework, rom-rb and Trailblazer.

My 2cents reply.
