The community has matured a lot over the past decade. Practical OO Design in Ruby seemed to introduce a paradigm shift as people discovered the old ways could help them write more maintainable code. And that just because you can(meta programming), doesn't mean you should. I haven't had to deal with Ruby in a couple years though.. I don't miss mixin hell, or chasing down a code line from a strack trace that doesn't exist because it was generated at runtime(I hope your ears are burning Chef).
