I didn't get to experience them myself, but then I'm a late starter on 1.9. Sadly yes, you have to give up on some plugins/gems, or fork and fix them (not as easy as it sounds).

Which makes me a sad panda. Tried to switch while working on some Rails projects, and ran head-first into a few walls, mostly related to I18n issues and plugins.

I don't think I have the time right now to deal with the potential issues of making the switch, but maybe it wouldn't be that bad. I've used Chad Humphries excellent config repo at github to help install and switch between versions though (as an aside, if you're interested in z-shell, take a look at this repo as well): http://github.com/spicycode/spicy-config/blob/7e6088e0fec8c41f1977e6c703550bd4e280583e/.zsh/ruby_installer.zsh http://github.com/spicycode/spicy-config/blob/7e6088e0fec8c41f1977e6c703550bd4e280583e/.zsh/ruby_switcher.zsh Haven’t made the full switch yet.
