New Not what he meant
From your example, it looks like the concept of walking the tree is handled automagically. In the set tree model you have updates something like:
update comments set lft = lft + 1 where lft > input1 and rgt < input2

If Rails typically hides SQL details from you, requiring you to walk the tree, this becomes a problem.

ActiveRecord (the Rails ORM) is just a very thin layer of code on top of SQL. This makes it dirt easy to customize the SQL for fetching or updating. I don't think this will be a problem.

However, I'm not a heavy-duty user of AR, so it will be fun to play with this and see exactly how this all falls out.

She's kinda got that "tornado bait before the DingDongs work their magic" look.
