Why are generators not menus or prompts?

wouldn’t it be more efficient to have a generator ask for column names
and
types and indexes in a prompt?

or easier at least.

It would be nice to also have ncurses menus for that.

Sure, but this isn’t Rails bug tracker, please visit
GitHub - rails/rails: Ruby on Rails and recommend it there.

No.

I think cakephp does a slightly better job of generators than rails.

Generators will always need to accept arguments - it’s how (for
instance)
the resource generator can invoke the model + controller generators.

At that point, adding an ncurses interface is just duplicating
functionality.
