DHH recently posted a comment on Quora about why it's still valuable to learn Rails in 2017 [0]. I don't agree with everything he says, but he is right that the Rails ideology was a big thing for web development in the '00s. Yes both Rails and Ruby have their issues, but if you look at what was around before it was a breath of fresh air. I keep hoping the JavaScript community will have the same epiphany, but so far I'm still dreaming. Yes there are boilerplates that give you something working out-of-the-box, but still you need to keep up with which boilerplate is the latest and greatest. I'd argue Rails being so opinionated was one of the reasons for it's success.
