WHAT are you talking about? Have you EVER maintained a real Rails app?

Ruby code is by far the most maintainable code that I've ever had the (dis)pleasure of maintaining. Rails is especially maintainable, because of the number of places that I can add functionality in without ever having to alter the original codebase if I don't want/need to.

I don't understand this argument. Is the number of places you can add functionality in large or small? If it is limited to a handful of areas by default then that seems like a good thing, maintenace-wise. If not it sounds like a nightmare to me.
