That surprises me. I've been learning Ruby recently (only really working with 1.9), but every time I learn about something that's new or different in 1.9 compared with earlier versions, the new version seems better, cleaner to me (e.g. 'hello'[1] # => 'h' not 101, Enumerators and MiniTest::Unit, off the top of my head). Also, it's significantly faster, no?

Most of 1.9 is indeed "better", but getting to "better" breaks a lot of code.

  Wasn't that stated in the 1.9 -> 2.0 plan? I seem to remember that code would be broken by the 2.0 language.
