Totally agree. At Snowplow, we have had far more problems supporting user-deployments of two in-theory simple Bundler-wrapped Ruby CLI apps than with deploying _the entire rest of our stack_. The Ruby packaging, deployment and environment ecosystem is an absolute mess - we are going to move these two apps to JRuby-Warbler, which is the only sane take on application packaging in the whole Ruby ecosystem.
