I think it's a tradeoff - rails makes live frontend updating challenging because you need to maintain a separate system to manage that, especially when you have a large app. JS frameworks have this built in, but their backend is lackin

That's pretty neat. In general I think stuff like this is cool and works pretty well as a starter kit for simple CRUD apps if you don't already know Rails + JS, but like I said in my OP, once your app gets more complex, you hire s
