Acts_as_taggable -- which one?

Rails
1

There appear to be three acts_as_taggable implementations and I’m
looking for
a recommendation on which to use.

  • Gem
  • DHH plugin
  • Dema mixin

The Gem implementation appears to be obsolescent, from what I can read
on
the lists and Google search.

I like that the DHH plugin uses polymorphic associations because there
will
be lots of different taggable items in my application; however, adding
and
removing tags is a bolt-on, not designed-in feature.

The Dema mixin
(dema.ruby.com.br/articles/2005/09/03/tagging-on-steroids-with-rails)
appears to do more right out of the chutes but is HABTM so it may not be
as
flexible as DHH’s.

Does anyone have thoughts on which has been most productive for you? How
about the add/remove tag features?

Thanks

I suggest the pluggin. It’s super easy to use. I wen’t from zero to
done in about thirty minutes, and I’m a newbie.
