I really appreciate the time and energy you put into a tool that I use very often. I also can't understand how you could find the energy to put into something you don't use. I am horrible at supporting anything I don't use. Absolutely horrible.

One of the big causes of this is that a large percentage of Ruby devs are not coming from an operations background. They are learning by doing. They are told to use a ruby version manager on our local machines and believe that they should follow that on the productions side. They are also told that GC hacks can give you X performance boost and not being told the trade-offs. Most of us just want to write code and then deploy it with a simple and useful tool like capistrano. Your opinions about these things make a lot of sense but this is not common knowledge in our community. If you are able to pass the reigns or free up more time, I would love to hear more of your opinion about production environments in a blog post or more if this doesn't already exist. I would buy the e-book.
