When I first started with Rails/Ruby things felt magical. There is still definitely a little magic, but with time I've found it to be less so. Usually all it takes is to lookup the source (which is well commented/documented) to see where the magic is coming from, the code is fairly easy to understand. If it works well use it, or take what you like/want and write your own methods, classes etc.
