In rails, is it recommended to use form helpers? Internally, everything boils down to plain html then why not write the html directly? Performance will obviously be better in writing direct html than using helpers. Is using form helpers like a convention or something that rails developers must follow? ...

I'm trying to create a <select> element using the collection_select method, but it seems that in order for the proper <option> to be selected, the identifier passed into collection_select needs to be an instance variable and not a local variable (this is happening in a partial).
