I tend to agree, and usually go straight for the schema when I start on a project, because the data structure is the model of the real world problem. With regard to migrations though, I tend to disagree. Code is very easy to manage in version control, so the migration files are merely the data structure represented in code. I love migrations and they've vastly changed the way I work.
