Rails has died many deaths over the years. I suppose its ironic that yet another one will be at the hands of its creator, as part of the keynote of a Rails conference he created because the community tried to have one conference where he wasn't the focus of attention.
replyAll this does is justify the people that have been trying to move on from DHH for years. If his politics didn't do it, or his bullying, maybe the fact that he doesn't even use Rails himself will pull the wool from their eyes.
Rails itself will continue. I see no reason to stop using it.

Zero commits are from DHH. It seems he already handed reigns over to other people.
He did slow down, but that's not the way to look at dhh contributions. Rails is a whole umbrella of projects, from rails top level package to turbo, solid_cache, sprockets, action-/active-anything, etc. There are lots of relatively recent contributions in that org overall.
