You can like rails, but calling it boringly simple is highly misleading. I think, generously, something like "complex but fully-featured" might be accurate.

As a reference point, the top 2 rails books on amazon are 900 and almost 1100 pages.

I say this to warn those who are looking for something minimalist and quick to learn -- Rails does not fit the bill.

nah, at this point RoR is boring (in a good way), and it's a good thing.
Boring in a good way, absolutely. Definitely not simple though
