Hello. I've been using Rails on and off for over two years, but have
only just discovered Hobo. My two favourite pieces so far:

- The integration of the complete model definition into the model file
(instead of part of it being in migration files). Of course it should
be this way.

- DRYML is a very well thought out solution to the clumsiness of
managing views in Rails. There have been other attempts at cleaning
this up (e.g. HAML), but DRYML is the best solution I've yet seen.
Surely this deserves to become more mainstream in Rails. I can
understand it would not be as fast as erb -- there must be an awful
lot happening behind the scenes. But surely it can be optimised --
most of it wouldn't change in a production system.

What surprises me is that Hobo is not more widely known. I've been
listening to the Ruby on Rails podcast and reading Rails websites for
over two years and have never heard a mention of it.
