Eh a lot of these seems like strengths of Django. Rails chasing the SPA dragon has been a source of endless pain.

Could you elaborate? After a ~10 years hiatus I revisited Rails last year and whipped up a CRUD app with auth in no time. No SPA in sight.

This was always Rails' strength from day one. The problems came when you tried to do anything that didn't fit into the guardrails laid down by RoR.

They've been mucking with the asset pipeline every single version and their forray into webpacker has been a disaster. Turbolinks and ActionCable have been attempts to compete with SPAs while still being SSR but both are just glitchy and a source of endless Heizenbugs. Thankfully Rails7 looks like they've restored sanity.
