Generating code is something I have never liked. Its good for basic setup but hard to maintain. One of the benefits of components is that it would be easy to update them...

Thnx for the responds, but I think people are misunderstanding me.

However, there are cases where you just need to make a component to hide the complexity of implementation (thats the case with for example fckeditor). It would just be annoying to implement this for each and every application I make

Actually, my reply was really only to Nathaniel.

I think Tobias really had a point there, though: why not a plugin and a generator?

To start with the pointers to Engines, those things just scare me : )

I agree that they're useful in the context that James Adam originally used them.

In my opinion, they seem to be more useful in MIS contexts (where you're creating pieces that will be used within a single organization, where if one instance were changed, you'd likely need to change all of them) than general widespread pieces.

However, I don't think this needs to be part of rails core, which was the motivation behind my response to Nathaniel.
