TBQH I think most of the instances of ruby metaprogramming are bad, increasing complexity dramatically without real benefit. Ruby "rediscovered" metaprogramming without learning the lessons of the Lisp community. Macros are great, though. It makes some things very simple that are otherwise unreasonable. They just need to be handled with care.
