Grails is Hard

It really is difficult to get used to Grails.

Is “copy paste” really that EVIL that we must obliterate it from the programmers tool kit?

I could have copy pasted my way to a CRUD ten times faster, then trying to manage it with Grails.

It took my co-workers a lot of time to figure out “cascading” and critical ORM concepts.

I find myself regenerating views, and copy pasting my changes back in, every time I want to change the domain class.

Just doesn’t feel like a mature Web Framework.
