Django/Rails comparison is a bit short I would argue, Redwood lacks a lot of their backend capabilities (Active Storage, mailing solution, jobs, Action Cable).

Add simplicity to your list. Tools like htmx and hotwire appeal to me because they cut down on the towering stack of fast-moving parts.

Have you tried Unpoly? It's like htmx but more "high level". I've used it for several projects and it is one of the more underrated tools out there. On my latest project.im using it in combination with Alpine.js on a Laravel application and I'm loving it.

>If your other option is Django/Rails/etc: it is like Rails, but integrates better with the frontend.

And worse with the backend.

Let's not pretend running code in the server are issuing queries to a database is all you do in the backend.

Blitz doesn’t use GraphQL, one of the unique things about it.
