I've been using Rails for the past 6 or 7 years. The biggest positive is that almost any feature you need is available as a gem. We're using for an early stage startup right now, and it's crazy how quickly we've been able to crank out features. I've looked at the JS and Python ecosystems, and haven't seen the same mature ecosystem.

I don't disagree with your point around large Rails apps becoming un-maintainable. I think as long as you have a few developers who have dealt with big Rails app and know what to avoid (concerns, fat models, etc), it's not too hard to write a maintainable app in Rails.
