I can't help but wonder how these developers that are struggling to install rails on OSX will go when it comes to setting up rails in a production environment.
and that's been heralded as the best thing ever, so people don't have to futz with all the server setup/management.
But with regards to people looking for similar ease of use on the desktop for local development, they're all blithering idiots who shouldn't be allowed to touch a computer because they don't understand the intricacies of rvm vs rbenv.
There seems a bit of a disconnect here. Most people are proud of all the hard-won knowledge (sometimes through months or years of experience), and feel that everyone else should have to go through similar hell to attain some magic level of guru-ness. But... don't take away my heroku account!
