Counterexample: just yesterday I spent nearly two hours trying to understand why a bunch of records was not being updated to database. Turns out that when attributes on already persisted records get assigned in particular sequence, ActiveRecord suddenly decides that there are no changes to be saved. Swap two calls, everything suddenly works. And there was nothing to help me to get to that solution, just groping in the dark and trusting my years of RoR development for a general direction. Rails is great, and I've been productive in it for a long time. But the complexity (some would call it bloat) is real, and there are nasty edge cases. And when you stumble upon one, well, good luck.
