I agree with most of his points, and the parts we disagree on are more of a philosophical difference. I'm more of a sinatra-type than a rails-type, and I don't really trust 'frameworks' that try to do so many things for so many people. I like my dependencies to have a much more clearly defined scope with fewer assumptions made. I also don't think loc is an indicator of simplicity. Removing duplication as in his example, sure. But it being one line of code versus being 10 lines of code because it relies on a specific set of side effects, that may drift over time... not so much.
