True. I tend to stay away from gems that try to integrate into multiple parts of your app to provide some sort of comprehensive solution. The kinds of gems I recommend are: 1) libraries (you call into them when you need them) 2) mounted apps on a url, isolated from the rest of your app 3) generators (a nice example: https://github.com/lazaronixon/authentication-zero https://github.com/lazaronixon/authentication-zero).
