This is my biggest gripe with the direction of Rails.

I completely understand the historic reasons for wanting to keep JS to a minimum and stay within ERB/Ruby, but the JS component-driven UI pattern feels like the correct front end architecture for most commercial projects these days, especially now with better JS tools like Svelte, which feels like rails for the front end to me.

I started playing around with InertiaJS recently and I absolutely fell in love with it. I was surprised to see how niche it still is because it's pretty much what I've dreamed what writing JS with Rails could be for the last 5 years.
