I was interested to hear the argument up until "Ruby on Rails" showed up. If "Ruby on Rails" does what you need, that's great, but then I'd say you're barely programming anymore, just like writing HTML/CSS barely is programming.

If we just go down another level (where you would implement something like Ruby on Rails), the same question appears. Do we favor explicit logic over implicit relations? At that level, I'd say the rule of thumb that "explicit is better than implicit" pays off, because it's often not that much more code, and a lot of code builds on top.

Personally, I think it's the keyboards fault. No one is being explicit enough unless they are using one of these https://imgur.com/a/icKnR#pCbeucK
