I agree. This is spot on. You don't "just use" Rails. I've been trying to learn the Rails conventions ("magic") for weeks now and I feel fucking stupid. It's not the MVC arrangement, it's the inherited behavior from ActiveWhatever that makes it frustrating. The Rails project might be open source but it definitely feels propietary in nature. For reference, I come from using vanilla PHP and Python with Bottle/Flask since ~2010 and I'm confused as hell with it.Also, OP can leverage full stack modern JS now, so sticking to Node for the server side makes sense.
