I think one of the things I have started to realize is how rarely people in Rails-land tend to reach for more established patterns that are generally thought to be important to writing good object oriented code. There seems to be a real adversity among many to go ahead and create new classes as needed especially when that new class isn't obviously a model, view or a controller. I just went over a short YouTube series DHH (creator of Rails) did where he walked through the production code behind Basecamp and I was struck by how different it looked to almost any other Rails app I recalled looking at previously. But it seemed like there was not a whole lot that they were doing that would seem in any way out of place from a SOLID OO perspective. It's a very interesting set of videos to take a look at what a modern Rails app with a decent amount of complexity looks like as intended by the team who wrote the framework.
