Ruby is a fantastic language and Rails gives lots of opportunities to go fast when adding new functionality to your product. The community is great and while there are different opinions about how to evolve Rails there is other frameworks like Hanami and libraries that don't need Rails.

In the end what matters is that you can produce the functions that make your product valuable to your customers. You need to Do it on a daily basis and always on time. Ruby on Rails helps you with that.

General advice: Do not choose the tech stack for generating your income by following fashion. It is a marathon and not a sprint after all.

I'm currently working in a Typescript environment that somebody choose for "reasons" (types, hiring,...) and I regret it every day. I'd go with Rails anytime.
