I used to be a rails developer. After rails upgraded to 3.1, I switched to Padrino and haven't looked back


I'm confused. Rails 3.0.8 is the current version. Rails 3.1 is still in beta. What's in the beta release of Rails 3.1 that caused you to leave? A couple of defaults have changed, but valid Rails 3.0 applications can be upgraded to 3.1 with a minimum of effort.


When I tried the Rails 3.1 beta, I had issues with getting Mongoid and various other dependencies working and could not get it to run. My Rails 3.0 app completely broke. I might be an edge case though.


I'm preparing a screencast on upgrading the Rails Tutorial sample application from Rails 3.0 to Rails 3.1. Maybe you'll find it useful. Subscribe to the news feed (http://news.railstutorial.org/) to be notified when it's ready.


Have the gems for Mongoid and such been "certified" against 3.1? Seems kind of hash to drop the whole framework based on a bad beta experience...wait until an official release and see.
