Rails by default monkey patches the entire ruby language, injects 400 methods on any single model, it creates an enormous amount of dynamic methods through metaprogramming and it monkey patches the loading of ruby files itself.

Rails does an enormous amount of damage right out rails new.

I understand this frustration very well. I recall one video on learning Rails, the teacher said it would be better to learn Ruby first and then learn Rails. It wasn't until I actually understood Ruby's deep areas that I could understand what was actually going on in Rails and how Rails accomplished it. The idea of sweep the details under the rug and just do it works if you aren't encountering bugs/runtime errors.
