Agreed, but we have all seen the numerous articles about "rails is dead" over the last 5ish years. Devs were really buying that idea and wouldn't touch rails, because the whole dead thing.
I tried hard to find an alternative that could sway me away from rails, but I could not find anything I felt nearly as productive with or enjoyed more. I'm kind of relieved rails is having a comeback. All of the good stuff of rails never really left. People just got too pulled into SPAs and microservices, and rails 8 just showed many who are paying attention how much better things can be.
The group think of SPAs and microservices has been crazy to me. I don't think devs took the time to fully consider how much complexity they were accepting with SPAs and microservices. Certainly SPAs and microservices have their place, but not for everything.
