What's a simple alternative to rails?

I keep getting gem install errors. Once in a while I have to edit my application from 2007 and I have to go back to 1.8.7 and 1.1.6 then have to fuck around to figuring what level of rake I need. Cause half the shit is deprecated if I try the new version. So for a guy that's only going to make an application every couple years what's a simple frame work? Python Ruby Java, whatever, learning a new language is the easy part.
Also I'd rather manually adjust MySQL settings instead of trying to make db:migrate do stuff.

You don't have to do rails, you can just do a bunch of bumps.

In my experience Rails is the simplest thing ever. The price you pay is that the product you build with it is slow as hell, hard to upgrade, doesn't scale worth a damn, and is full of cruft after 100 failed ideas went into it.
But it is extremely fast and easy to build a thing with it. It's why loads of new programmers pick it up to learn with. Switching to anything else is a rabbit hole into a lifetime of bettering yourself as a developer and becoming a professional. Which is hard.
