But wouldn't those things be more of an ActiveRecord concern rather than a Rails issue? AR isn't the only ORM you can use within Rails. But again, as Mike said a simple :include would fix a very simple issue. N+1 issues aren't my priority when I have a very short amount of time to throw together a prototype for a client, that where Rails will, for me at least, always win. Once I have a signed SOW and a green light then N+1s will matter, but at that point either I'll be triple checking my code anyway or hell maybe we won't even be using Rails for the production app, although a vast majority of the time Rails is a great solution. For me it's about the right tools for the job and for rapid prototype development, Rails is by far the right tools for me.
