I don't think so. Development speed in the Rails ecosystem is slowed down by the gems tendency to mess things up with very liberal monkey patching. Continuing to use Rails today is like staying with PHP yesterday, you continue because that's what you know the best and that you have heavily invested in, not because it's the best out there. EDIT: * My best alternative for now: Django * The Rails community is awesome * Ruby is awesome It's just that Rails grew too much as a hairy ball now.
