Thanks Steve, this is useful and interesting info. Just to clarify, my "side to side" analogy was intended to convey that some new tools did nothing to improve the Rails toolset -- some new tools moved app development sideways rather than forward. There have been plenty of "best thing since sliced bread" new ways to do things with Rails that have turned out to be just a distraction and which, in my view, were not an improvement over the "old way", and which have since faded away (apparently others agreed). Sadly, some of those "bright ideas" were adopted by the Rails team, so we're stuck with those (like REST). Thanks for the info on HAML and Compass jp -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
