I think as community is growing there are more people turning towards RoR from other technologies, because: 1. Ruby is language of developers 2. With Rails building application is pretty fast. I think I have attended a session 4 years back (when I was nuby) when one guy taken user requirements and generated rails app in few hours through scaffolds (and I must tell you it was very inspiring). Though it was just a skeleton and not at all production ready, but at least gives sponsors a feel of application what they envision and in turn they provide quick feedback. So, I think scaffolds are still useful to provide you bunch of useful files, which otherwise you write by hand.
