RubyGems

Great, a non-optional package manager.

My opinion might fly in the face of the Ruby developer concensus, but the last thing the world needed was another package manager, especially one that you seemingly can't escape and that has very few packages.

The only gems most people ever download are Rails and its dependencies, and delivering that component as a gem really just seems to complicate server setup. I have to install Gems so I can install Rails? Why can't I just jump ... [More] straight to Rails?

Call me an old crank, but my brain's capacity for recalling command line parameters and server setup steps is limited. [Less]
