I don't think it really goes into an all-out generating stuff for the  
sake of it way, but judging by what Rails wants to achieve, it's  
"taking the chores" out of development, and allowing everyday easy  
stuff to be encapsulized (not really hidden) by the framework; like  
Activerecord does for most DB queries/updates and RJS for most Ajax  
behavioural returns.

You still get all the underlying interfaces (SQL for Activerecord,  
Javascript for RJS), so you can have the best of both worlds, as  
opposed to both having a strict layering that's favoured by some of  
the "enterprisey" frameworks out there, or the other "extreme" of  
hand-coding everything.

The best frameworks are those that don't get in the way of what you  
want to do, but really help you out in most cases to allow you to  
concentrate on the more specialized things.

Best,
Thomas
