Most of the features added to Rails 4 came directly out of David's work on making Basecamp Next fast.

In fact, Rails 4 is so extracted from David's working knowledge that some people feel it's _too specific_, hence the whole "Omakase" thing a few months back.

(I'd also note that your two sides aren't actually opposed: if you pull things out from 'working knowledge,' then you obviously think that they're the best. Both conditions can absolutely be true.)
