Disagree. The RoR front end was way more stable and usable than the mess they have made now.

The issues are with the Ruby backend.

RoR is the only framework I’ve ever heard of being so bad that it killed startups. I personally know of two that were doing well, but RoR was so brittle and slow that they couldn’t hire enough to keep it going. This is compounded by Ruby devs being pretty rare.
