Yeah, I'm partly playing devil's advocate: for my day job I work with node, doing microservice-y stuff; on my own time, I prefer working with a Django or Rails type framework.

I appreciate the benefits of a 'batteries included' approach when, realistically, anything I build on my own is not going to have to horizontally scale across 50 EC2 boxes, although some of Rails's choices in terms of batteries are peculiar to me.
