I would have used Rails for the current project I'm on, but for one thing: Data science. In the past (around 2010 to about 2018) I did the web stuff in Rails and communicated through the database for the ML stuff I needed from Python, but even though Rails is better than Django, these days Django is good enough and it isn't worth the tooling and the employee dual lingual requirements to justify both. It sucks and I wish I could use Ruby more. I agree Ruby and Rails are both better than Python and Django on their own, but the scientific computing part of Python is just so phenomenal that there isn't really anything to do about it anymore other than to accept it. Ruby is like Elivish. It's poetic and beautiful and consistent where it counts, full of symbolism and grandeur, but in a world of dwarves, humans, and orcs it just isn't useful enough to justify making an entire team learn it.
