Rails changed my life. I've yet to have as much fun making applications or tools as those golden RoR days. Such a cool community.

Nothing to add but, YAY! Go Rails! To paraphrase Steve Jobs, 'Rails is like a glass of ice-water in React Hell!

See edge guides ( https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/7_2_release_notes.html ) for some highlights. I'm looking forward to using some of the developer experience stuff, such as default RuboCop or default GH actions for new apps. Not sure if it's everyone's cup of tea though.

I think there has to be some investments into the DX, I mean look at Ruby, it's lacking so much compared to other languages. Basic autocomplete is barely working, it's probably because the nature of Ruby but it still adds friction to the workspace.
