+1 for the idea Every time I create a rails app I forget to disable stuff and end up running `rails new --help` to check every option.
I also agree that a `npm init` style interface wouldn't be practical. Instead I suggest doing something like vue-cli does. When you run `vue create myapp`, you can pick features step by step. See https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/creating-a-project.html#vue-create We could imagine a first step where you can toggle turbolinks, sprockets, action mailer, coffee script, webpacker etc... Then another step to select a database preconfiguration (mysql/postgresql/...) if database wasn't disabled in the first step. Then another step to select webpack integrations (erb, react, angular, vue...). It doesn't have to allow to toggle every option of `rails new`, but to provide essentials. I also think this would be a nice feature for rails beginners and make rails more user friendly.
