besides, the article reviews solid business reasons for implementing RoR. i’m pretty sure it wasn’t presented as a review of the language or framework. to that end it’s precisely the sort of information opensource needs in the marketplace to push beyond “just LAMP”.

I’m going to give “privacy registrations suck” the benefit of this doubt on this one and imagine that he/she was just channeling the frustrations of any Rails developer that get tripped up from time-to-time trying to build a truly great web app on a framework that’s a bit under-documented and short on real-world OSS examples.

It’s something I can relate to; I took a break from reading the Rails source to toss off this comment.
