How do you like developing on Rails? You have the value of past experience with Flask - does the 'newer' approach of RoR work for you?

Can you try rewriting in RoR/Elixir/NewShiny to see if that feeling goes away? Would you lose clients because of the switch to RoR?

All good items to ponder - that would be my thought process.I hope it helped.

I'll be honest, Rails has a lot of magic going on that makes me uncomfortable but at the same time i desire because it would save me alot of time not have to explicitly spell it all out myself. this is part of my dilemma is whether i should sacrifice absolute control for the timesaving of trusting others and learning to do things their way instead of me hacking it together however i see fit. again, gut vs brain pulling me in different directions.

i guess i do have the "benefit" of having no clients i would lose by switching. just my own time and the potential that i'd have a harder time tackling future issues involving magic i dont understand
