#2I still see Rails as perhaps one of the best frameworks to start a new generic web project in. The out-of-the-box functionality is just so perfectly tuned, and the fact that they're focusing on features that appeal to larger applications just shows how Rails has helped companies grow.

#3I haven't done heavy work in Rails in four years. I miss all the bells and whistles.

Any Reason why Rails still does not include an any decent Auth by default?
Edit: I remembering keep asking this question but obviously no answer was satisfactory enough that stick to my brain.

#5How is helix these days? The idea of calling out to Rust was super compelling when I first read about helix. Is that problem still being tackled?

I think the defacto standard is devise but they want you to be flexible enough to roll your own or whatever serves you. I would like to have it built in though.

There are many ways to do auth. Some Rails auth gems are more prescriptive than others. All of them involve large tradeoffs in various directions. It would be weird to bless just one of them as the "right" way to do auth in Rails, imo.

Yea it's really sad that at the hackathons I've been to you can hardly find one other rails developer. With rails you can build things fast and spend more time focusing on building cool unique features. But I go to hackathons and I can't collaborate with anyone using Rails or Ember.
Also google cloud has a ton of awesome integrations for ruby and rails so you can build lots of fancy features quickly as well.
The rails community needs to do more outreach to universities and students.

Ten years ago, you'd find plenty of people using Rails at hackathons—back when it was the new hotness. Maybe hackathons tend attract people who are interested in building stuff with 'cool' technologies as opposed to building cool stuff.

has_secure_password is built in, and works as long as you include the bcrypt gem in your Gemfile. I've never found Devise or any other 'off the shelf' solution to be satisfying for me because authentication seems to vary just enough between projects to make it easier to use has_secure_password and rewrite auth from scratch.
Personally, I think it would be cool if someone built an user account/authentication experience as a generator (along the lines of Rails scaffolds), so that you could see all of the generated code and modify it without having to get elbow-deep into the bowels of what I find to be an overly-abstract gem.
