I'm glad Obie chimed in. Most of the points discussed in the article (like decent_exposure) are discussed in his book, The Rails 3 Way. Others, like presenters, have had recent RailsCasts about them.
Rails 3.1 seems to provide a "best of both worlds" when it comes to convention over configuration. It feels a lot more modular and configurable, yet still does most of the work for you. I don't feel Rails itself provides much friction, and areas that do are easily overcome with gems from the community.
