I'd need the opinion of someone who's worked with other acclaimed technologies (his was PHP) to tell me that Rails is indeed that much better

Developer experience and the choice to keep complexity low make a much bigger difference. The things Rails solves for you are, these days, solved problems in all mature languages that are used in web development

(coming from close to a decade of Rails experience on my end)

Just to confirm: Are you saying that features offered by Rails - a web framework - can be replaced and solved just by switching to another programming language and use only the programming language?

[AstroBen]

of course not. I mean the surrounding ecosystems

Not what you asked for. But I could write a very similar article about Laravel.

I run multiple apps as single developer and Laravel has a great community.

Laravel has a lot of similarities to Rails.
