Rails is great if out of the box with devise + active admin it gets you at least 80% of the way to what you're trying to build. Once you start writing loads of background jobs and business logic it becomes a quagmire pretty quick. I've seen this happen over and over again on projects I've worked on.

I mention Rails specifically because I can't think of any other reason I'd use Ruby these days.
