> While designed to make things easier for newcomers... The idea that Rails was designed to be accessible to newcomers seems to be pervasive but I don't think that has every been a top priority for the project. The framework is described as "optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity". It's great if this also leads to a design which is approachable for newcomers but I think it is a mistake to judge features as if that was the intent.
