To be fair, the point about "the building blocks of a Rails application scale really, really badly as a codebase grows" is not about performance, it's about code manageability. Also, just because more people love Rails than loathe it in no way negates the point that there is a lot of negativity. The two are orthogonal.

> it's about code manageability. I've worked on plenty of large rails codebases, and many times I can just dive right in and start contributing. Any codebase can grow to be unwieldy, but once you understand rails and other code organization techniques in ruby it's not an issue if you take the time to groom things. Code manageability in rails is a highlight. > the point that there is a lot of negativity But there isn't a lot. there are a few people who dislike it, and often their points are just because they prefer something different. It's well tested, performant, and has a large community - and been around for over 10 years.
