I personally still love Rails. Especially with Rails 5.1 I find it has what I need. I haven't had any of the scaling and performance issues some people mention in other threads. It's a fantastic environment for a developer.

The same for me. I do different freelancing projects. Most of them in the direction of culture transformation for technical teams and I still use Rails as the go-to framework for any tool that I need in those projects.

Reasons: - I already know Rails so there is no learning curve

- It takes care (alone or with gems) of security, user management, routing ... with very few configuration details

- I can still deploy it quickly on one single droplet with capistrano

Recently I started to learn Vue.js and I think - for me - they will make a great combination for the web apps that I need.

I'm thinking about giving 5.1 a shot. Haven't worked with Rails since 4.2.
