other than "So much has changed since 2.x," I personally think it would be great for you explain why "practically every Rails Developer" should jump in to 3.0.

Your comment is a given, right?, but other than to state the obvious, I'm curious as to your personal reasonings regarding this release.
- steveklabnik 16y agoThe biggest two for me are massive performance increases as well as unobtrusive javascript. Now, I haven't done any specific benchmarking with my apps yet, but the upgrade from ree to 1.9.2 seems to be fairly large from every benchmark I've seen, as well as Rails 3 itself becoming faster, due to the Merb influence. Unobtrusive JS is awesome; I never used Rails javascript helper stuff because I prefer jQuery to Prototype, and just wrote all of that stuff by hand. Now I can actually use helpers. Full HTML5 support is also nice, though I guess haml was already doing that for me.
- ashleyw 16y agoWhy wouldn't you? It's faster, it'll eventually have more support from the community, and has tons of improvements which should help with your productivity.
