I hadn't done Rails since Rails 5. I recently tried installing Rails and created a new project, and it felt like it was way more complicated than it was back then. Biggest of those issues is having Yarn, why cant it just use NPM like a normal person? (even as a fallback)
Well, it’s true that Rails does include JS baked in now, which did not used to be the case. It does make it a bit more complex, I agree. But virtually 100% of projects demand JS on the front end now, so I think it’s wise of them to include a built-in and standardized way to do it.
