Yeah. That's kinda what this guy was saying in his artle that we're commenting on. He wasn't really "moving on from Rails"... he was leaving the view layer behind. And then evaluating what else he really doens't need.

There's a strong movement among some of the more verteran Rails devs to write abstractions, ensuring that the ap doesn't depend on the framework as much. So as needs change, things can, and probably should, change with it.
