I've felt the same way for a long time too. The Merb merge had more to do with soothing large egos and indulging some architecture astronauts than it did about making it a better framework for developers to work with. Now it feels a lot like the over-engineered Java frameworks it was designed to liberate us from.

Couldn't disagree more. The Merb merge gave rails new life, as it made it so you weren't locked into the default Rails stack (AR/ERB/Sprockets/etc).
