Earlier in my career I was a Rails dev. Since it's on my Linkedin, I get PMs at least once a week about Rails gigs from companies in SF/SV. Rails isn't dead. Furthermore having had stints with Django and React, I think Rails is still by far the simplest and most pleasurable way to build webapps. Their core philosophy of maximizing developer happiness has something to do with it.
I treat bootstrap like GTK+ for the web. When I need an application, that happens to be a website, to have a consistent/nice look/feel without having to "design" it.
Rails is (and has been) a pleasure to use for fast, easy-ish development if you usually stick to the "Rails style" recommend naming schemes, etc.
If you are trying to adapt an existing project/db that uses some other style, Rails might not be the best tool to use. When you have to supply explicit table/key/route name overrides to everything, you loose a lot of the benefit of using Rails (or any other very-opinionated tool). I loved using rails for multiple projects, but it's worth making sure it's actually a good fit for the project before jumping in.
Discourse too. But frankly I wish people stop making publicly releasing software as rails app, the resource usage is just insane. I always have to upgrade my server just because of running a single rails app.
