The README itself says it should feel familiar to Django, which it certainly does from a developer API perspective based on my cursory review of the guide

I think Rails caters to a specific type of audience. Personally, I hate the idea of "scaffolding" my app. I'm fine just writing that plumbing code and seeing how all the pieces interact.

And I never understand this "just accept the status quo" take. If we all did that, we'd still be nomads living in caves.
