Hi Ignacio, Your critics are really really welcome! About the rubyracer gem, it's > more of a Rails decision to force users to choose between installing > node or uncommenting the gem.

Sure it's Rails's and the user's decision, but it lets the wizard fail which could beginners hold back from Hobo. (I still don't understand why Hobo isn't waaay more popular.)

Now I took the approach of a clean install (maybe there is something mad with my rvm or so...) 2.0 still works. 2.1.1 still breaks. Yes, it is a Ruby version issue. Meanwhile the "Mesonic Browser" is useable and I want to tell you about it, because I saw, that you worked on the SQLServer-Adapter gem and I think it's an interesting use case: I am dealing with a big legacy ERP MSSQL Database here, which has column names like C045 and Table names like T027 which I can't stand. But I have a mega Excel Sheet explaining all the column and table names and telling me about primary keys. So I thought I give it a try with current Hobo. I am using > gem 'activerecord-sqlserver-adapter', '~> 4.0.0', :git => > 'git://github.com/rails-sqlserver/activerecord-sqlserver-adapter' which officially doesn't support Rails 4, but for my needs, it's working. I imported the Excel sheet into SQLite Tables and use these in a rake task to generate Hobo Models connecting to the MSSQL Database. Actually there are 365 models, not kidding. I also created the I18n de.yml in a rake task (I am German speaking, but that's not relevant here) which has now 14945 lines. I use Hobo as an admin interface to this database, application startup time is quite long, but so what? Thanks for your work on rails-dev-boost Gem, that helped a lot speeding it up. I made sure, that only one connection to the MSSQL Server is done, not one per model, which also helped a lot. The last small thing I tweaked was the admin menu. I did all this more to check if Hobo works with the MSSQL database as a backend, but now I have a mega admin app as a spin-off.
