Yeah I mentioned in another thread but the Rails and Phoenix communities both reject the approach of thick clients driven by data access APIs, in both theory and increasingly in practice.

Not really at all, there are some posts about things like stimulus and DHH is obviously against SPA apps. However, go look at any Rails job posting board... Like 60-70% of them are looking for Rails + React (which is a great combo btw)

Even rails 6 ships with webpacker by default and they have included an API mode for a while...

Phoenix live view on the other hand is totally awesome and goes along with your point
