Didn't DHH basically use "your mileage may vary" in his "The Parley Letter" essay? [1] > So yes, the closer your application is to an application like Basecamp -- and I make that net extremely wide, I consider, say, 500px, Github, Shopify, and others to fall into "close enough" -- the closer you are to the primary use case that guides the development of Rails. ...I read that as "your mileage may vary" for rails if your application is dissimilar to basecamp, because design decisions are primarily made to support basecamp's use case (and not yours). Its more subtle than that, and you need to read the essay for the context of that statement, but that was one of the things I took away from it.
