A gem that's pretty useful alongside this one is the annotation gem -- it prefixes models with their specific schema dump (as comments) and then updates those descriptive comments on migration. It's one of my go-to gems to install when I rotate onto a new-to-me Rails project (or start a new one) and I'm working to understand the data model.

I get it, though. Sounds like you're used to seeing every column definition in there. And that would be handy. There is a gem that you might like: https://github.com/ctran/annotate_models
