Most of the reason I've started losing interest in Rails and the DHH cult is their insistence that their homemade JS solutions (Stimulus, Hotwire, JS import maps) should be the default choice instead of industry standards like Intertia and Vite.

I am maintaining a Rails app with Vite + Interia + Vue, and it's many times easier to manage, develop, especially when working with LLMs that haven't been trained on DHH's new frontend experiments du jour.

Funny you should list those out. JS Import Maps (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...) are literally an industry standard while Inertia and Vite are decidedly NOT standards in any way, shape, or form.

Industry standards are not platform standards. React (enabled by Inertia) is in many ways is an industry standard for building UIs on the web today, yet it's not part of the platform. Same with Vite, it's the standard way to bundle on the web.

Decidedly, Import Maps are not used as a standard for dependency management in the web dev industry.
