Is the description 'Rails-like' used accurately here? Based on this article, it sounds like Quickly generates boilerplate code and a makefile. Rails is playing on a much higher level, allowing you to describe how the actual interface and data behaves.

It is rather misleading IMO even though it is from the article.

It is a template expansion system that also setups SCM for the “expanded” project templates — presently it sounds like there is only the template for Ubuntu projects, but that other templates could be created.

A lot of people think of scaffolding as one of Rails' key features.
