No!  That will only land you in trouble without you knowing enough JS to 
get *out* of trouble.  You have to understand what Rails is producing.

It's not about pretty.  It's about proper architecture.  Inline JS is 
improper architecture.

I don't give my clients that choice.  They get properly designed code 
that works.  It's not up to the client to make technical decisions.
