While I haven't personally used seed-fu, it seems to solve a different problem. There are two main problems we're trying to solve here:
- Having the seeds.rb file mirror the records you need from production. You wouldn't want to to register your User model, since you don't want all your production users. You would want to register a model like Product.
- Being able to easily migrate data on our production systems. Being able to easily migrate (and rollback if something goes wrong) is key to having predictable deploys (for us at least).
