The scope_out plugin is such a great extension to ActiveRecord I can’t imagine any non-trivial app not benefiting from it.
I have just two reservations: I would have thought it could be named better (OK that’s a niggle), and the customised with_scope methods it creates (e.g. with_active), should really be protected. Why? See this thread.

Thanks Tom! I’m going to give it a try in a new project today.
