Rails is a true example of an opinionated framework. So if you think this is the way to go, open an issue on github, bring out your ideas about how this change can help people and see if it works out.

Rails tries to set most of the best practises for you so that you don't need to make bad decisions on out-of-scope things. just focus on the actual problem. If you are well aware of how things are working and it doesn't fit you, then you can start with Sinatra or rewrite the parts that are not good in Rails.

But just saying Rails should drop JS doesn't doesn't add much unless you have a better solution.
