To be honest it never did. Rails was far too full of magic, security holes, shitty architecture that fell apart under even small load to be taken seriously, and yet it was. The rest of us carried on quietly delivering quality apps, a bit baffled by the rails brogrammers who got their thrills annoying zed shaw with penis pull requests in github. Then they moved onto the next shiny piece of shit, nodejs, and made that kind of sucky too.
