Hi \*, I need to choose a platform for building the administrative  
part of [http://www.zooppa.com](http://www.zooppa.com)  
Actually I like both streamlined and activescaffold, they seem both  
good.  
I’d like to ask to people using it which one is more likely to manage  
correctly things like validations, polymorphic associations, STI and  
in general complex data.  
If it’s also easy to modify it would make my day …  
If there are also other options I’m glad to hear, old administration  
was built using extended scaffolding, and I really want to ditch it.

TIA,  
ngw

Hi Nicholas

Whilst Streamlined has its advantages such as a more powerful serah, I  
still prefer AS.
