It's a good question you raise and from a macro level I think the crux of the matter has to do with a deeper question: Is Rails for the newbie or for the experienced developer?
It's no longer 2005 and Rails no longer really needs to be a "big tent" that is inviting of every hobbyist under the sun. Having said that, I get why Rails still has scaffolding and why it is still in the beginner tutorials. Personally I never use scaffolding generators, so this question wouldn't affect me much. Having mentored more junior devs on teams at various start-ups, my general opinion is that doing it the hard way is better for the learning process. Things shouldn't be easy. (but hey I'm probably also a bit of a cynic) It also brings up another fallacy (dare I say antipattern) that I hear commonly: Less typing means less work. (I disagree with that, one of the reasons why I'm not in favor of all of the arguments promoting Coffeescript adoption. Having said that I do use Coffeescript, but I don't believe the fact that I have to type fewer characters makes me any faster as coding.) -Jason On Oct 16, 2014, at 9:55 PM, Claudio B. <claud...@gmail.com> wrote: > If you remove Bootstrap from the equation, and just think about the scaffold > templating, what is your opinion? > > Do you think that it should actually be removed from Rails, since you > describe Rails as "an advanced server-side technology". > Or do you think it should be kept there and, eventually, improved? ---- Jason Fleetwood-Boldt t...@datatravels.com http://www.jasonfleetwoodboldt.com/writing All material © Jason Fleetwood-Boldt 2014.
