One year "in" I like it so far! What I like the most is the fact that Elixir/Phoenix simply "fits" the modern soft-real time web. I like the preemptiveness and what it means to handling requests.

As for writing Elixir, some things can certainly be easier in Ruby, some are the opposites. Just trade-offs. As for Phoenix vs Rails, I really like its design, but I prefer Rails batteries-included philosophy.

I already wrote a bunch of articles on Elixir if anybody is interested: nts.strzibny.name/tag/elixir/.
