I think migrations are a nice history myself.  But I always thought it  
was a bit of a pain doing something in two places (i.e. add a column  
in a migration, and a model).  And, actually, with associations, in  
three places.  This has always nagged at me a bit.

A question about datamapper.  One nice thing about migrations is you  
were in complete control, so you could be careful to preserve your  
data.  For example, maybe you just want to resize a string column from  
80 to 128?  Or, maybe you need to rename a column?  How can Datamapper  
handle these cases without being destructive?
