Principally the file organisation that pretty much forces you to stick all your controllers in one single directory. If you want to create a truly modular application (think microservices) RoR defaults seemed to work against you.

I understand what you mean, but that is one of the trade offs when using opinionated frameworks.

I've found that a more effective way to achieve the same results as microservices is to deploy the monolith to multiple servers and have each one acting in a specialized capacity.

This tends to make testing a lot more consistent and improves code reuse dramatically.

If you really want to make it modular you could always package the functionality you want to share into gems.
