Two things: 1. Keep in mind that the article is a response to another article comparing the two communities. The article author did not beg the comparison. Only defended DHH and Rails in a previously made comparison of the two. 2. The article author is the creator of the Lift web framework for Scala, so he's not really part of the Rails community to begin with. It's more of an (admittedly familiar) outsider's perspective than an insider's.
