I think you're making too much of this perceived separation between
people who don't like the magic puts/print idea, and people who use
Rails.  I am living proof that there is no such separation :-)  My
dislike of the magic puts/print applies to its use in ActionPack
templates as much as anywhere else.  I just don't think it's a good
idea to single these methods out for anomalous behavior in templates.
