  Personally, I am really happy to see the following items landing in Rails 8:

  - Solid Queue & Cache by default (no need for Redis)

  - Propshaft as default asset pipeline (retiring Sprockets)

  - Basic auth generator (will Devise still be useful for new apps?)

  - Kamal by default for new applications

  Simplifying Web Development and even more sane defaults in Rails makes me really happy!

  I am no longer a Rails user, but Rails was the reason I switched to a Mac and abandoned .NET and Windows completely. Those demos using TextMate were sweet.
