Bootstrapping with Ruby on Rails Generators and Templates
There is also Thoughtbot's Suspenders, which inspired me to dig deeper into Rails generators and templates. I even wrote my own application template — Schienenzeppelin — which, while not up-to-date, might still provide some inspiration.

Frameworks of the Future?
I'm not looking for the overthrow of CRUD-through-MVC. Rather, Hobo and Hoodie seemed like advances---Hobo was sort of Rails for Rails, and Hoodie was an offline-first framework for something like what we now call Progressive Web Apps---when I tried them early in their life-cycle, but both seem to have withered away. And nobody else (that I can find) seems interested in improving graphical design (as in, "just use Material Design, or Carbon, or whatever"), cleaner parent/child relationships, automatically updating views and controllers to match changes to the models, and probably features that I don't know that I need.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Suspenders and Hobo you can also consider the following projects:
Rails Composer - Rails Composer. The Rails generator on steroids for starter apps.
orats - Opinionated rails application templates.
Bootstrappers - Bootstrappers is the base Rails application using Bootstrap template and other goodies.
ihp - 🔥 The fastest way to build type safe web apps. IHP is a new batteries-included web framework optimized for longterm productivity and programmer happiness
Raygun - Rails application generator that builds applications with the common customization stuff already done.
boring_generators - Boring generators aims to make your development faster by delegating boring setups to us.
jumpstart - Easily jumpstart a new Rails application with a bunch of great features by default
