Wow. First time I have seen the screencast. Very impressive.

I just did a workshop a few days ago on Rails here in Vancouver, and it was
nice that the generators created a bunch of useless things for you just to
show you, but truth be told, you really don't need most of it until you
decide. The plugin generator is the that brought this up for me. When in
fact you only need one file to be created with the directories the way that
they are.

After looking at the Nitro video, the structure is very loose, which I
appreciate and somewhat dislike at the same time. Having default
organization is nice, but at the same having useless organization is just
that - pointless.

Would be nice to see a Rails version of Nitro, with the directories already
there for you, with the auto-loaders present for things such as Models.

On that same note, I noticed during the screencast, you had to directly
require the Model. In Rails it has the auto-loading mechanism which will
attempt to locate the model in specific directories which are based on the
load path. I am under the impression nothing like this exists in Nitro?
