Rails is already the sane alternative. Any full stack framework is. DotNet, Laravel, Django, Rails...

If you think you need a JS framework to handle your UI, you've already lost, and you're doomed to reinventing wheels that these technologies have already perfected.

Thank you for saying this. I thought it but didn’t write it as I don’t want to offend.

The amount of extra work and complexity that a separate FE introduces requires serious benefits on the other side of the equation.

Isn't Stimilus a JS framework?

[KurtMueller]

StimulusJS is one step up from JQuery and formalizes a lot of jQuery patterns that I'd come across - data-target, data-event attributes, etc.

Not really. More like super simple and light helpers for dom manipulation - lets you add interactivity with minimal trouble.
