Of course I have :) I still stand behind my recommendation. David may be the seed by which Rails has flourished, but it is not necessarily, and it is not beneficial to follow blindly where other paths have great rewards.
Engines do their purpose well, and have done well for me. If they had not, I simply would not continue to recommend using them, nor would I be at the side of James Adams with the development and future of Engines. They most definitely have their place, and it appears that it may take David a bit more time to see it. Or someone to put out an engine which puts the idea to perfect use. The login and user engines are great indeed, but they still need some work as they have not covered the areas required. When it comes to managing new versions of engines, its drop dead simple to upgrade it, in its compartment, compared to using a generator which infuses its code all over your application. Trying to upgrade the code a generator once built which now may have new models, methods, views, etc would be extremely time consuming at best. I understand where David is coming from, but there are more minds and opinions to share in the growth of the framework. -Nb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nathaniel S.
