I believe you can still install it from a plugin if you're really
interested in it.

I think dynamic scaffolding was a crutch that kept people from really
getting Rails from the start (i.e., you didn't have to build views so
they were missing out on that).  I think making them generate the code
gets them elbow deep in the sort of stuff they'll be writing quicker.
