Everyone seems to misunderstand my comment about scalability in connection with Rails and code generation so I'll try to make it clearer: I am not talking about scalability of performance. If you have a simple CRUD app I'm sure it flies with Rails or whatever even with lots of traffic. Good for you. I am talking about scalability of application complexity. As your application gets more complex, code generation breaks down. It might give you a good start on a prototype but the further you get from the simple CRUD app, the more code you write and the less the code generator helps you. In fact, a lot of these generators actually get in the way of complex apps and you end up rewriting even the core portion that the generator started you off with.
