Rails culture has always been about change. There is focus on backwards compatibility but its not job #1. If you can't change along with Rails, then you should not use it. DHH can do as he pleases because thats his framework. It powers his business. If he needs to change anything to fit his needs, then he will do so. Thats the culture of Rails.
I use Rails, and its a nice framework. But I'm not a fanboy. Its just another tool for the job. Just like Django, Symfony, Flask, Sinatra, Laravel, Slim, etc.
Now, I'm not getting into a pissing match with you. We are arguiing the same point, just from two different perspectives. I do agree that Rails 4 is mature enough. But the culture is not. And that's what keeps Rails from replacing shitty Enterprise frameworks. A shame because Ruby is fun to write and very powerful.
