Hehe.
It's not Rails that's a problem here, per-se, it's ORMs that the OP seems to have a problem with - shaping his application architecture choices. Maybe he should be using MagLev and therefore Gemstone ;-)
I agree that ORMs tend to make you think un-object-orientedly sometimes... but usually they can be worked around, and they provide a good pragmatic "best fit" for most uses. It's pretty darn good for free!
