The author lost me at complaining that you need to know Ruby to know Rails. In case this was not self-evident, the Rails guide itself says plainly and early:

"If you have no prior experience with Ruby, you will find a very steep learning curve diving straight into Rails." http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#guide-ass...

Where did anyone hear and/or read otherwise? Similarly with all the other complaints. To me, they sound like straw men.
