I'm finding that it's a lot cleaner to use with Javascript. For example, say you have an array of items and you want to create a fieldset for each item, and add an attribute of "data-id", and "data-category" to each fieldset so you can grab them with jQuery later on. In HAML all you have to do is this... - @items.each do |item| %fieldset{:data => {:id => item.id, :category => item.category}} === In ERB the equivalent would be... <% @items.each do |item| %> <fieldset data-id="<%= item.id %>" data-category="<%= item.category %>"> </fieldset> <% end %> === It's a lot cleaner in HAML, especially extrapolated out over larger views.
