Gmaps4rails v2 is a huge move.

Actually I just kept the minimum code.

Here are some reasons:

geocoding is perfectly handled by {geocoder}[https://github.com/alexreisner/geocoder]
views helpers created a magic feeling and only confused people
js base code was made to be changed by people, but people dont want to touch it!
now js code is very flexible: you can inject your own dependencies without touching the core.
other map providers should be handled by different gems, like oauth has oauth linked in, oauth facebook ...
