Best Practice/Design: respond_to in action with only one response type

Rails
1

Question, if at first my controller is only going to be responding
with html templates to requests is it best practice to keep the
respond_to block within each action?

respond_to do |format|
format.html
end

I find it adds a lot of noise to a controller for nothing. Correct me
if I am wrong though please.

Bonus question: why did we move from .rhtml to .html.erb? Are these
the same for Rails or are they handled differently?

Thanks everyone.

I would say no.

To answer your bonus question…

I could do html.builder

Or js.erb

Or rss.erb

Or rss.builder.

Much nicer to separate the language from the content type.
