I agree that the total lack of structure in Sinatra can be harmful at times, but don't blame a technology for your team problems.

That's just the bad workman blaming his tools for the faults of the toolbags he works with.

Blaming the tools is completely reasonable if your problems can be solved by better or more appropriate tools. If I need to drill a hole precisely and accurately and the team or management has standardized on hand drills, it's entirely appropriate to bemoan the use of hand drills versus a proper drill press with an appropriate jig.
