We've started planning out Rails 4.1: https://twitter.com/rails/status/366620806064783361
What can Rails add or change that will help your startup be even more great? How can we make Rails development more productive?

#2I faced recently scaling/refactoring problems due to way too large models and some kind of callback-hell baked in. instead of just "drag-n-drop" model code to concerns/mixins/..., have a look at https://github.com/cypriss/mutations to extract business logic in a clear way. This was just a life-saver for my team, this should be preferred over "stuff any logic in your models", at least from my point of view.

Simply adding `gem 'unicorn'` or `gem 'rainbows'` to your Gemfile will give you unicorns or rainbows, I'll investigate ponies, thanks.

I have not seen mutations, I'll check it out, thank you.

#9rails package - dockerization of app, but this rather goes beyond of responsibilities of Rails and I should complain at capistrano guys ;-)

#10Thanks for asking Steve! I think Rails is already very complete. I would like to see an included state machine, rails-api integration, commands (baby-zeus) integration and GitLab secret storage (https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/pull/4040). But I realize these are all very controversial. The most important thing is the core-team stays happy, so no problem if these can't make it.
