Don’t use the bleeding edge version yet if you are developing  
something that is really critical. Things change and break really  
quickly. Unless you are prepared for surprises, go for it. I am  
currently using the edge version. But if you are waiting for Rails 3,  
be prepared also that most of the plugins won’t work.

Kind regards,

From a Ruby perspective, I think you mean “If you are prepared for  
surprises, go for it” 🙂
