Many of DHH's complaints are normal parts of every software project:

- depending on third party packages can be a pain

- switching environments / languages is annoying

The argument that these things disappear with Rails is weak.

The historical argument that a dynamically typed language can handle these issues more gracefully than J2EE is valid but less relevant today.
