Why wouldn't you use it again and what would you use instead?

Governance seems more invested in making ideological changes (dropping Webpacker, TypeScript, breaking changes between versions that add busywork but no value) than building the community and expanding reach. DHH continues to push poor technical decisions and alienate contributors by taking weird political stands.

As someone who’s taken multiple projects to production in Rails and generally loves Ruby, these days I prefer to start new projects in full-stack TypeScript. RedwoodJS has been quite good.

Which of DHH's technical decisions would you consider poor?

Just a guess -- probably the ones mentioned such as dropping webpacker, typescript
