Again, just my (possibly outdated) opinion.
As someone who has been doing web programming since 1996 and using rails since 2005, I would like to respectfully disagree. I don't find much in rails that makes hard things hard. It has a great deal of modularity and you can replace simple things with complex things when needed.
