When i started Kaya.gs i drove away from Rails by a similar logic. Rails is quite heavy and abstracts a lot of what is going on, and comes bundled with many things you may not use. I used Cuba for Kaya and i can safely say I understand the entire stack of the application. For a long term learning of web developing, i strongly suggest fiddling with a micro-framework to get a deeper understanding of everything. However, now with a much larger understanding, i was annoyed at the process of making things again or tediously , which frameworks already solve. I.E. , simple crud views, user authentication, etc.
