Funny. After reading stuff like: http://gusg.us/code/ruby/rails-2_2-headaches-1
we made a decision to delay moving to Rails 2.2 for as long as we could. If Hobo will require it (and we dearly need to keep up to date if we are going to keep using Hobo), then suddenly we're probably staring at a giant amount of pain, just to keep our platform updated. I understand exactly why you guys are doing this. It is just TOO difficult to deal with Rails's changing interfaces. I'm not criticizing you for it. But the fact that you guys can't do it and the fact that as a consequence we'll either have to drop Hobo or incur significant pointless pain just points to the failure of the Rails platform. And, yes, I think it's failed. This sort of thing has been a problem on every ... single ... update. Frankly, rapid development *isn't* rapid development if either every dependency has to be pegged to the same version or nothing works at all and if transitions aren't easy. Moving up to Rails 2.1 took several weeks for us. Sure, any new app can use the latest and greatest versions and everything is spiffy, but the moment your app has been around, you'll begin to feel the pain. We have dozens of plugins we use. We can't go to Rails 2.2 unless ALL of them play nice. That's a ridiculous penalty to pay just for an update from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4. But that's where we are. Ruby and Rails's lack of discipline with interfaces has lead to a Totally Failed Platform.
