GitLab is mostly rails and they have been iterating their UI pretty heavily. I think programming languages are just tools and the team(s) wielding them matter a lot more than the language.

On the UI, I'm kinda feeling like it's not a bad thing. GitHub UI works. It's neat, most things that need to be done often are easy to find, and otherwise it gets out of my way nicely. Oh, and it doesn't break my browser (links, Back button etc). Why change it?
Bitbucket and Jira use React and are far less usable

Well, their PR software could use some serious love. I don’t use github for much else.

Are you sure you remember how everything worked in 2010?
And then stuff that was sensible then probably shouldn't have changed much.
I’d suggest most frameworks are better than rails for long lifespans. They just frontloaded productivity, and it shows. The UI and functionality of github is largely the same as in 2010.
