Scaffold is nice, but as you move forward you'll find yourself customizing too much. Use slim for markup, sass for styling, and coffeescript for behavior. There's niceities like inherited_resources for defining the default crud in a controller, and are usually even faster to develop with. The greatest thing about ruby on rails is how easy it is to write tests. Its a core convention of the framework. From my (limited) python experience, I have not seen such an adherence to test or the ease to do so.
