I think a huge part of the problem is that they keep trying to Railsify the front-end. It's impossible to build a decent abstraction over as fractured and fast-moving a target as the whole front-end tool chain. Webpack is already annoying as is, hiding it behind the webpacker gem for no good reason was a shitshow.

That’s a good point. If it were possible to successfully “railsify” the front end that would be amazing.
