Absolutely! I switched from PHP to Rails in 2008 and I've been able to upgrade all of the relevant projects to modern 7.1. Lots of changes/maturation along the way, but all in the right direction. Still best web framework for fast prototyping in 2023. I use Rails every day. Not the best for high concurrency or system tasks, but great for expressing maintainable business logic and working on web apps in teams.
