Hello all:

For the last 6 months I been involved in 6 rails project and it seems to  
me that I am  
spending considerable amount of time in views (I am no CSS expert and  
making everything  
work on most browsers is “no fun” task furthermore the views for the  
last projects were not  
highly complicated either)

I have tried most of the markup out there i.e HAML, Liquid etc but I  
like to stick to RHTML  
cos its the official distro. I have also tried “creating” reusable rhtml  
snippets but you still  
need to tweak things for individual projects.

I am looking for advice on cutting my “view” time… What tools you guys  
use? or better question  
what practice you follow to minimize your view time?

Cheers
