I would love to see rails-api become a first-class player in the Rails ecosystem.

  Given that I help maintain it, you can imagine that I'm a bit biased here. ;) That said, other than increased usage, I don't think being included in core would actually do anything that we can't already do ourselves outside of core.

    IMHO, built-in support of api-only application is very good. Here are the reasons I can think of right now: 1. unify people who are looking for a standard approach to create api in Rails 2. clear separation between lower level http support and higher level html/js/css processing 3. performance improvement against using regular Rails for api 4. easier upgrade for app developers
