> Rails is a curated framework. It either fits your requirements or it doesn't.
"Opinionated" was the original description. "Curated" is just some buzzword that means "people look after it" rather than "automatically generated", which is, uh, pretty much going to be par for the course for a maintained framework.
"Opinionated" communicates the idea so much better - it means not only that yes, some choices were made, but that some of them are the result of strong opinions, and do not necessarily try and accommodate all points of view.
DHH saying it does not make it any less of a silly buzzword. I much prefer his original "opinionated", as it much more clearly gets at the heart of what Rails is, that it doesn't try and be everything to everyone.
