I already wrote about it at length in 2017, I guess all is left is to paste a link, because my opinion did not change much: katafrakt.me/2017/03/28/ruby-vs-el...

Creating the dichotomy certainly does not help here, either. It’s not like: Ruby or Elixir - take what you want because it’s just a matter of taste. It is about choosing right tool for the job. Rails-powered CRUD-based web applications would probably never be threatened by Phoenix. Elixir doesn’t have magic gems system or anything as convenient in simple cases as ActiveRecord. It’s designed for different purposes.

Came here to learn and if Phonenix doesn't have as nice CRUD as RoR I'm glad that I haven't worked with it yet. I needed fast generator for both front and back and quick to modify an throw away. Still JHipster on damn Java looked easier. Thought it was me because I'm used to something but no. It's apparently tiny pieces missing in each of these so they can be easy to prototype with while generating UI and backend crud.
