Our stats show that we write a supervisor or a server once in every 7.5 man-months of coding. Yes, there is a small amount of 'boilerplate' in creating OTP structures, but you are not comparing like-with-like when you compare a Ruby Class to an OTP component. If you compare a Ruby Class to an Erlang Module - (which is a much better comparison - our stats show 1 new module per man-month) then your boilerplate argument falls completely flat.
