So its been a while since I used Rails but when I did I enjoyed it. In particular, say what you will about DHH I think having a fairly "opinionated view" on how the framework should function makes it much easier to deal with. Every time I need to do something full stack with Node I feel I need to go back and figure out what the current state of ORM's are.
However the reason I don't use Rails as much is that I'm not writing a lot of "full-stack" apps. A lot of the work these days is gluing together various SaaS services. Okta/Firebase for Auth, Contentful for CMS, Stripe + Webhooks for Commerce etc. I just don't do anywhere near as much "CRUD" style programming as I used to do earlier in my career, which is both a comment on my career and the state of programming today.
I'd love to see a project that wraps up a bunch of best-of-breed technologies and creates a full framework and doesn't try to be all things to all people. ie React for Front-End, Bookshelf ORM, Express Server etc (pick your favorites, but have an opinion that evolves but only in one direction.
