I'd beg to differ: at the very least it provides hints and conventions on common, useful, well-integrated gems. The Sinatra apps I've seen that had gotten a bit fatter over time tended to be all over the place, dependencies and quality wise (some good, mind you); whereas the deconstructed rails apps tended to be very similar, and easy for other developers to get up to speed with.
It's a small advantage, but it's enough for me to prefer it.
- tragic 12y agoYeah, I'm partly playing devil's advocate: for my day job I work with node, doing microservice-y stuff; on my own time, I prefer working with a Django or Rails type framework. I appreciate the benefits of a 'batteries included' approach when, realistically, anything I build on my own is not going to have to horizontally scale across 50 EC2 boxes, although some of Rails's choices in terms of batteries are peculiar to me.
