By scaffolding (in Rails), do you mean that the code is generated and
realized as a file for later editing, or is code generated dynamically at
runtime? One of the problems that I had--quite practically, not
conceptually--with scaffolding with CDBI and the loader concept (if that is
what is meant by scaffolding) was that when a bug or an unexpected behavior
happened, I didn't know how to track it down (but I am not in the same
league as those of you discussing stuff here). I simply like the
transparency of code in hand.
