Ruby, you're still the one for me

Ruby and Rails seems to be taking a beating on blogs the last few days. Lots of assertions, rants, and general discontent. And, a few valid points made on both sides of the spectrum.
At the end of the day, nothing I've read will change what I'm doing tomorrow: having fun creating great products with a language and framework that is a joy to use. Working in a space that is dominated by innovative thinking. Engaging a vibrant community of smart, creative technologists.
Everyone knows that Ruby and Rails have limitations. They are not perfect for every project. But, they are perfect for my projects right now!

I **LOVE** ruby, and nothing else on my horizon!
My relationship with Rails is different. More about respect.
I respect Rails.
The main "problem" I have with Rails is I wish I was conceiving it, writing it, testing it, or whatever on the development side, and not stuck as having the role of a lowly "user/incantation maker".
And when the incantation fails - whatever the reason - I am reminded of my lowly role and must kick the cat, scream at somebody, throw something, or perhaps a bit "more adult" - attempt to write a punishing blog.
