This is one of the reasons why I'm moving to Rails. Frontend work is quite hard with templates and most of the community has moved towards Reactjs because of that, which I don't like.

I think they designed it this way because they assumed that the backend and front developers would be different persons/teams, which makes sense for many projects but for me I'm just a solo dev trying to get work done as fast as possible.

The way Rails does things with ERB makes total sense. DHH himself said that Rails was designed in a way that a single dev can take the framework and build something with it, no teams, no microservices, just plain Rails.

ERB is more dangerous than Django Templates but I like it when a framework doesn't try to protect me from myself.

By what you're saying Rails is indeed gonna serve you well, that's exactly the use case where it shines: small teams that need to move fast. I also believe it's simple structure is quite good for big projects/teams as well but that's a different discussion.
