#6It looks like "System Test" is what they call end-to-end testing using tools like Selenium with a browser. Scripts that e.g. send POST requests to the server process and check the result seem to also be included.
The new form_with looks convenient. It was always annoying occasionally having to switch all the methods out when a form gets more complex.
I don't really use frontend Javascript stuff, but mostly because it was a pain getting it to work with Rails and doesn't provide much benefit. Maybe in another year the Webpack changes will have made it worth using.

You're right, but curiously every post announcing Rails 5.1 at the time got nowhere on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=rails%205.1&sort=byPopularity&...

(The real issue IMHO is not enough exposure of or encouragement to visit /newest, so it's pot luck if links get seen.)
