Agreed that the metaprogramming can lead to some head-scratchers. However, in my experience with Rails/Ruby, that generally seems frowned up on most teams. Readability is a core tenant in Ruby, but every once in a while someone likes to show how clever they are. No more a problem in Ruby than other languages IMO. I disagree that there is a lack of good quality, well maintained libraries. Depending on the domain, I think most people would agree that Ruby and Rails has a pretty thriving 3rd party ecosystem. A big part of that is because of how mature both Ruby and Rails are.
