Lots of DHH ideas are take or leave. The consensus seems to be that you need to wait a while before embracing new features in Rails, because they are often released half-baked and frequently no good until the second try. (Take credentials for example, or turbolinks.)

That being said I am really interested in Stimulus, as based on the promotional pages at least, it seems like it is not very big and it would be hard to do wrong. I haven't "bit" for any JavaScript framework yet since jQuery, and consequently all my JavaScript is pretty terribly disorganized. It is very encouraging that this has made it to 1.1 without any apparent major overhauls!
