" ...continuous and rapidly increasing micro-speciation of all ruby projects from the VMs down to template formats."
This is simply bullshit. There are merely a fair number of solid choices, as one would hope any decent language would offer. Being able to select appropriate tools for basic Web framework, ORM,and template language is a Good Thing.
There are only a handful of viable VMs, and for Web development the practical choices are MRI, REE, and JRuby.
"micro-speciation"? That's hysterical. Literally.
If Ruby doesn't interest you, fine. Bogus characterizations don't help anyone though.
