I think that a --comment-light option for the Rails generators is a really interesting idea, and might well be worth implementing (especially as part of the more customizable generator experience being discussed in Interactive “rails new”.
However, I would appreciate you bringing a bit less snark to your discussion of why you find them annoying, and a bit more empathy for why other people might find them useful. One of the ground rules of this forum is that Rails is a big tent and we respect that other people use the framework differently than we do.
Personally, I’ve been developing Rails for twelve years. And it’s because of that that I find the comments helpful – Rails has evolved so much over the years, and I’ve definitely used the comments to help orient myself about new Rails features. I also find the comments helpful for educating new-to-Rails developers about which affordances are easy.
