Everybody is different. You might be more productive at doing stuff the "Rails way", somebody else might not be. I know I won't be, simply because I don't know Ruby and/or Rails enough to be productive in it.

Not every organization can use this approach either. E.g. I work at a True Java Shop(tm), where voicing the idea of using Ruby for a back end service would get me laughed out of the room with a permanent label of That Funny Guy Who Likes Toy Languages.

Using React for a front end client application that consumes back end API built in Java is 10x more productive than doing the traditional "Java Way" application with server-rendered HTML.
