Rails is _not_ a code generation framework. Note the period on that sentence.
Rails may provide the some simple scaffold generation, but that's only there if you _want_ to use it, and it happens to fit the way you'd like a particular part of your app to work. The code produced is concise, easy-to-follow, and thus easy-to-maintain.
For my own applications, I barely ever use scaffolding. It works well for simple admin screens where I just want 'something' that works for now, then will spend some effort on designing it a little better, later.
Rails is as maintainable as you make it. If you're a poor programmer, you're likely to write unmaintainable code, no matter what language or framework you have to help you. Rails helps point you in the right direction, but in the end, it's up to the _developer_ how maintainable his/her code is.
It's quite obvious that the concept of the automatic code generation done in Ruby On Rails was either not completely grasped or completely missed by the author. The whole purpose of the code being generated was to give you a basic structure to take and change until it was what you needed it to be. This is precisely why it is called 'scaffolding', because it gives you the framework to get started with.
As far as the Ruby On Rails framework itself is concerned, it is extremely capable and flexible for handling a great deal of web application projects. Of course there will be specific functionality that Ruby On Rails will not handle very well -- there never are perfect solutions.
I wouldn't consider the reviewers objections completely devoid of import, just misguided. You must always be careful about anything you didn't do yourself, but you must exert the same care and attention to the stuff that you do create yourself! Often we put far too much confidence in our own coding skills.
So, in the end, the concept of Ruby On Rails is simply to alleviate the mundane, rote programming that goes into the basics, particularly the structure and minimalistic database interaction, and make it surprisingly simple.
From openssh.com: "With the OpenBSD 2.6 release out of the way, Markus Friedl decided to pursue SSH 2 protocol support. Slaving away for months, he managed to keep OpenSSH slim and lean, while at the same time managing to turn it into a single piece of software that could do both the SSH 1 and SSH 2 protocols. This version, called OpenSSH 2.0, shipped with OpenBSD 2.7 on June 15, 2000. Most of the checking of Markus' changes were done by Niels Provos and Theo de Raadt. Bob Beck is to be thanked for updating OpenSSL to a newer version."
Obi-Wan and Luke were both very hungry after their long speeder trip to that wretched hive of scum and villiany, Mos Eisley. They settled themselves in a cantina and ordered a big dinner of noodles, rice, sweet and sour dewback, and other oriental style goodies.
The food soon arrived and they set to. Obi-Wan handled his chopsticks deftly, quickly and securely picking up a noodle here, a prawn ball there. He soon sat back satisfied, and let out a quiet burp.
Luke, on the other hand, was in a right state. He just couldn't get the hang of the sticks, and had dropped far more food on the table and down his front than he had managed to get into his mouth. He sat, surrounded by rice and noodle debris, still as hungry as when he started.
Seeing his pupil in such distress, the Jedi Master leant over to dispense some of the wisdom of his years.
Use the forks, Luke he whispered, Use the forks.
I've used it and...
I liked it! It scanned like 500 spywares in my computer, all of them due to Internet Explorer Bugs(hey, i've used it only for 2 days since I formated my computer).
The software is fast, gives information about the spywares and asks you what you wanna do. If I had to rate it I would give 9/10.
Ok, so according to you, breaking a license agreement which states you cannot use/redistribute seeds is legal? The neighbor has no rights over the seed, Monsanto has them.
Well, they got their license agreements and they need money ofc.
How could Monsanto develop those seeds if once the farmer bought them he could replant the seeds grown on his soil? I'm not here trying to defend Monsanto, but I believe Bio-engineered Seeds are the future, and need money to be developed.
