Simple examples
Today a friend asked me how hard it would to create an inventory site for items. I asked him about the database and we came to the conclusion it was a single table problem. With in 10 mins I had a new rails app with migrations and scaffolding. Normally I do not like scaffolding but for a single table ugly app it works very well. After another 20 minutes I added a login and changed the form to use drop downs. Rails is by no means perfect, but it does make little things easy.
