Elevator, a new take on Rails scaffolding

A few weeks ago Joshua Wehner, Toronto-area Rails guy, announced Elevator 0.1, his personal take on Rails scaffolding.

The key improvement? Instead of generating a public facing CRUD interface, which you’ll inevitably toss out anyways, Elevator generates both admin-side and user-side scaffolding, complete with test suite(s). As an added bonus, you also get a nicer looking pages, without approaching the complexity of something like the Ajax Scaffold gem/plugin.
