They're sort of apples and oranges;  one could create the equivalent of 
J2EE in Ruby, and suffer similar headaches.  The point of comparison 
might be, what is it about Ruby that would obviate the need to do 
something like J2EE in the first place.

Having a nubie team project can be instructive, though, as certain 
issues or design principles don't come up until a program reaches a 
certain size.
