Point 1 & 2 taken. I agree to your observation. The user should be shown 'Aha' moment ASAP & we are only delaying it which is bad.

Point 3 - guess this is classic example of we founders trying to show the philosophy as the first thing to the user. While he/she wants to learn RoR. Guess we should create a separate link 'Philosophy' on the main page & link the content there. Something like https://supportbee.com/ .

Point 4 - guess the command out is too long (especially the rails new part) which is making it look long.

Point 5 - a linux user is needed at the backend & hence there is a signup process for that. We need to figure out a sub-optimal way to provide console access to non-signed up users as well like what Codecademy etc do on their main page.
