> However, this "magic" comes at a price, and at some point you will hit a wall

Only that wall is at the end of a 50 mile runway. Don't let these sorts of pronouncements scare you ... by the time you get to this bogey man 'wall' you're going to be doing a million page views a day, dealing with replicated databases or just generally dealing with really big big problems. And even then you'll have a very supportive community of people who have had the same exact problem ... (example ... github coming up with Unicorn to help them server pages in a better way for them).

Long story short, for starting out and even a good ways into any application lifecycle. Rails is going to do you just fine.
