@adam, one of the most important features in Formtastic is that it's quite opinionated about your markup. Sometimes, we get the design straight from our client and we are not supposed to redesign the form markup, meaning we cannot use Formtastic (as said in the beginning of the text). So, if you need a more flexible solution, not opinionated on markup, I recommend you to use SimpleForm. But, if you are free to choose your markup and love Formtastic one, stick with it!

Szymon, unfortunately not all browsers support placeholder yet, so we would need to depend on Javascript which I think is something we don't want to do by default. In any case, changing SimpleForm to use placeholder instead of hint in your app should be piece of cake! 🙂
