I see. I'm on the same boat as far as developing varying types of apps w/ Rails. Disabling things I don't need, like asset pipeline for API dev is pretty quick: config.assets.enabled and config.generators.assets set to false and you don't have to worry about generators creating any unnecessary js/css in that scenario. Out of curiosity, what other things are being generated that wouldn't be of use?

Resource-based SCSS/CoffeeScript files. For an API I definitely don't need these, for a regular app I don't need them because I try to write JS/CSS around components rather than resources.

Good call on just removing the generators though. I should just do that.
