as a Rails dev this makes me LOL. I would have expected the rube goldburg machine of JS frameworks to be more robust and ergonomic by now, but it looks more to be hacks built on top of hacks with no real vision or technical leadership.
This feels a whole lot like when everybody with VC cash was using Mongo. And I see that as a competitive advantage if your competitor is using these types of technologies, it means you can out maneuver them and build a better product.
