Every time a Rails link appears on the home page it's filled with a bunch of technical reasons on why Rails is good and then there's a bunch of posts about how other frameworks might be better. These are healthy discussions IMO. But I think a lot of people overlook that one of the main reasons why Rails is so good / popular is that you get to see posts like the one we're looking at: Running GitHub on Rails 6.0 There's not too many other frameworks where there's a really strong track record of it running really popular sites (github, shopify, basecamp, airbnb). Not only are they popular, but they are well done sites that are pretty tech friendly. It just gives a sense of confidence that it will work for your small / large app and you don't get that with most other frameworks. Knowing that billions of page views have been through the framework irons out so many edge cases. Both bugs and performance issues, and you often get that perk on day 1 when a new release is out because it's already been running on basecamp for months (and maybe other big sites too). I mean check out this quote from the article: > GitHub engineers sent over 100 pull requests to Rails 6.0 to improve documentation, fix bugs, add features, and speed up performance. Combine that with the Rails approach of batteries included and you know that the core of your app is in good hands. You can't really go too wrong by using it along with a few well maintained gems.
