Jeff — I am a hobbyist developer and have been using rails for about 1.5 years. I have difficulty grasping many of the issues you expressed because they seem to be on a scale so much larger than my apps. That said, I have been bumping up against JS MVCs left and right, but have been hesitant to check them out due to my love of Ruby and that it has met all of my needs. But I am not unwilling to pivot directions as I am early in the game. Do you recommend departing from RoR and jumping into a framework like Ember?
