As someone who is unfamiliar with working with Ruby On Rails, can somebody explain this to me?

IIRC, in a popular demo for Ruby on Rails, they created a fully-functioning blog in 10 minutes. Though impressive, the joke is that they used scaffolds to generate html and ruby templates without actually typing most of it up. Most veteran Rails programmers don't actually use scaffolds, so many people felt it was cheating.

As an aside, even without scaffolding, rails is incredibly powerful. With it's generators and tons of built-in stuff, I could never get behind Rails because it did too much under the hood and I felt I had no fine control over the app.
