This needs to be repeated over and over. We see so many pundits pushing the "right" way to build Rails applications now. Rails was a reaction against large applications. The major use case is to build CRUDs in front of a db. If your application out grows Rails, it's not a condemnation about Rails, or your team, or an earlier choice. If you're Twitter or Facebook, don’t use Rails out of the box. For the rest of us who want to work on small applications, Rails is still beautiful. And when I say small, I mean applications around the complexity of a Basecamp or Github.
