For context, I'm in no way, shape, or form a modern front end maestro. I'm good with ES6, Jquery, Handlebars, and Bootstrap. I've done a little with the Angular 2. From that perspective.... What does this buy me over the other more popular frameworks? What are the chances that this won't be abandoned if it doesn't gain traction? It's also easier to recruit developers if you say your stack is built on the more popular…

I believe this section attempts to answer that question: https://github.com/stimulusjs/stimulus/blob/master/ORIGIN.md...

  new Ractive({
    el: '.greeter-ui',
    template: `
      
        
        Greet
      
    `,
    data: {
      name: 'Alex'
    },
    oncomplete: function(){
      var Greeter = this;

      var greetButton = document.querySelector('button.greet') 
      document.addEventListener(greetButton, 'click', function(event){
        var name = Greeter.get('name')
        console.log(name)
        event.preventDefault();
      })
    }
  })

This feels like it has a whif of Angular about it. Controllers in HTML attributes... Are we likely to see this in Rails 6? I'm a full-time Rails dev these days and I struggle to keep up with all the new things that are coming through that I'm not using day-to-day on older apps! Webpacker, Action Cable, just to name a couple.
