Perhaps this isn't a valid observation, but I have seen more problems
coming out of people using bake.php to create scaffolding and then
struggling to figure out why their customized code doesn't work.  I
never used bake.php, never used Rails scaffolding either and I seem to
be doing okay. Your mileage may vary.

I'm not saying bake.php is useless, I'm saying that I think it's a
crutch that some people are using instead of actually bothering to
understand how CakePHP actually works.  There are many problems being
presented on this list that would be easily fixed if people would
bother to read the manual and search this newsgroup.

Before everyone gets up in arms, yes, I do actually enjoy helping
people out by answering their questions.  I see people that look to me
like they are simply not bothering to take a look at the quite large
amounts of documentation that is available via either searching this
newsgroup or actually going to cakephp.org and READING the manual.

We really need an FAQ that we can point people to.
