I go back and forth with rails.
Sometimes the black magic is great, especially if you're trying to rig a prototype together. Also the configuration is almost always really easy so it's not difficult to start burning through a project.
Other times it's like "too much framework". I've never really been a fan of the all the javascript hocus pocus that occurs and prefer just writing it out on my own.
I also started to get frustrated with the active record query interface and started writing my own queries out because it was faster (for me).
- snprbob86 16y agoThe Javascript hocus pocus is the one key thing I haven't really figured out yet. Rails 3 seems to have made a move to unobtrusive Javascript, but it appears half-baked compared to the RJS stuff I keep stumbling across on the web. If you ignore the `:remote => true` business, it is as if there was no special support for js at all. As a solid jQuery developer, that's probably a good thing.
- cageface 16y agoI stopped using the Rails js stuff a long time ago. It's really not that hard to just use jquery and it's more obvious what's going on.
