Having been a Rails programmer working on some internals projects in the company that I used to work, I like both Ruby and Rails. But now I'm' working as an operations guy (ie, a sysadmin) in a new company, we came short of adopting redmine and maybe opening the road for more ruby and rails software to be used, we already use puppet and so every sysadmin now knows ruby, so it would be good to include some more ruby to internal use, but it was just a pain in the ass to maintain the rails-based infrastructure, in both Debian and CentOS, the distributions that we use. Fedora and Arch is not used in the servers, so it cannot be used. This is old, and just touches one aspect of the problems (shared hosting, which I do not deal with), but it does have some good rants, specially the point 2 of "How it could be better": http://blog.dreamhost.com/2008/01/07/how-ruby-on-rails-could-be-much-better/ http://blog.dreamhost.com/2008/01/07/how-ruby-on-rails-could...
