Have you tried anything other than Rails?

  Sure, used a few other Ruby platforms, a Python one or two. What makes Rails work so well is Ruby. It's uniquely suited for building the kinds of abstractions you need to deal powerfully with the Web. The only thing it's really missing is a good UI library. I've been using Hyperloop, which puts together Opal and React, but it still needs a lot of time to mature.

    Because I've tried Rails, as well as Python, node, C#, Java, PHP and Scala based stuff and I find it hard to say Rails is objectively the best.

      I think you really have to get to know Rails before you can see its value.
