Why choose Ruby on Rails - reliability and efficiency

Why choose #Ruby on #Rails?
I read this article from Reinteractive: https://reinteractive.com/articles/rails-8-modern-web-framework

But let’s be honest, sometimes you just want a framework that’s reliable, efficient, and doesn’t leave you wrestling with configuration files until 3 AM

Forget scavenging for libraries—Rails benefits from a vast and mature collection of ready-made solutions (called gems) with the added advantage of being mostly open source. This eliminates the need to reinvent the wheel especially for common tasks. Need authentication? Gem! Database interaction? Gem. Test suite? Gem. Want a cyborg police officer to guide you in upholding the laws of clean code? Gem!

While other frameworks also have thriving communities, Rails’ longevity provides a deeper pool of resources, tutorials, and readily available solutions to common problems. This reduces troubleshooting time and accelerates development. — Source: https://reinteractive.com/articles/rails-8-modern-web-framework

I also liked this part:

Rails 8 empowers developers to build features rapidly with its convention-over-configuration approach and a vast library of gems.
