The drama sucks, but I feel like there's drama in almost every dev community. I mostly just don't pay attention to any of it, because it doesn't affect my day to day usage of something like Rails.
Not a rails person at all, but I could easily imagine rails being closer to a perfect storm than most other dev communities, with its unique intersection of tech deep-divers who reach their personal "peak surface" in rails and who might very well follow a torvaldseque "I don't care about the social, it's the technology that matters" and the socialiteism of more content/design minded people who reach their "peak tech" in rails. In my perception, creating a bridge between those two poles is basically what makes rails special. That's "rails' superpower". And with great power, well, perhaps in this case great drama?
