And your dismissive comment attempts to imply that I haven't done "real" work with Rails, but I can assure you that, with 25 years of professional development experience, 13 of which using Rails as my primary stack, I have integrated with many legacy systems, and I find Rails works really well for that, actually. And, while I admit there's usually a place or two in an application to have to "shell out" to hand-coded SQL -- and even more tellingly -- that's usually some of the most-important functions of the application, it's hardly a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
