W.r.to boilerplate - I have no reference point/comparision to other frameworks.

When the project grows with more contexts, components and forms, one will end up with a bunch files which differ only in Module.func_names.

Phoenix < 1.7, View files which are required for controllers are boilerplate which contain 3-4 lines. In the end there will be a folder with view files which don't will have similar content unless any view specific functions are added.
