Can someone please clarify what justifies the 3.2 -> 4.0? I don't see a big change, isn't this more like a 3.2 -> 3.3?

Rails 4.0 drops support for Ruby 1.8.x which necessitates the major version bump.

Do you think Rails is still fun and are you enjoying coding in Rails?

Any word on performance?

Aaron Patterson (tenderlove) gave a presentation where he said he wanted to refactor rack to make it more simple. He said Rails 3 had a lot more depth in the stack and it was making it slower. (when i start up an old rails 2 app i can't believe how fast it is). I don't think that is in Rails 4 though. I guess that is a separate project.

Also deprecating vendor/plugins means Heroku will have to change the way they deploy. You can notice that by the deprecation messages when you start a heroku console.
