Ruby is a wonderful programming language, but should that not be a
reason not to have wonderful extensions and/or bindings.
It is completely normal that bindings to high class libraries as xml
will beat built in stuff like REXML.

REXML does not do your job, no worries there are other solutions.
Maybe that was not clear.

not broken, just limited, mainly in performance.
