Use the right tool for the job. I would never think of Scribd as a database application, even if it does have a small amount of data it's storing.
I like Rails for the easy ability to model data, MVC2 layers of database model, interaction controllers, and input/output views, and the frameworks for easy CRUD coding and simple scaffolding of basic forms. Ruby is an okay OO language. There's a lot of knowledge and skills I was able to move from VFP to Ruby/Rails/ The complaint that Ruby is slow is a great analog to the complaint that VFP is interpreted. If you use the language for the wrong thing, it won't run blazingly fast. I'd rephrase the article as "If you're not developing a type of application that Rails excels at, don't use Rails."
