I love Rails, but for me, it’s missing the Daniel Kehoe style generators. As a web app developer, I don’t want to configure omniauth, capybara, Twitter bootstrap, rspec.
Add that ability to the command line like:
rails new Blog —configure bootstrap capybara rspec omniauth=github
And then it automatically shows up. I get a landing page where I can login with github and get a skeleton spec directory where I can just start adding tests. And I can start using bootstrap css classes in my erb templates and they just work.
I love Daniel Kehoe’s work (Rails Apps) and I’m surprised it’s not being incorporated into Rails. His work makes Rails even more approachable and I think Rails is missing Daniel’s little gem.
