Yeah I love the no migrations, the only thing i use alot i suppose it
doesn't have is "rake db:create"
Im sort of asking what peoples experience of it is, perhaps stories of
anyone using it with rails, for example i have to extend test:unit and
change rails slightly to get normal rails testing.
I also love the pure ruby syntax, meaning i can use postgres to start
and move to mysql is a client wants or vice versa.

Ive come up with a plan, im going to use active record for this
project at first, once the project is in production and has some use,
ill make a git branch and play with datamapper, see if what pleasure,
or pain is bring, performance testing is my main interest really..
