Well, I agree, it's annoying looking at dated code and they still sell Rails 2 books on amazon and your local bookstore.
However, the more I learn, the more I learn to adapt. I started learning Rails in March after writing a spaghetti code web app in PHP with MySQL (it worked great!). Being a self starter and a n00b to dynamic web application development, I knew I needed to build on a framework that offered security. After much frustration with what was available, I hit the Rails runnin' !

"If you want to break every single Rails application out there because you have a great idea for Rails 3 its absolutely on the table".
For me the what spoils Rails is the way perfectly good code breaks when I upgrade plugins/gems/Rails.
Ironically it leads to awful productivity, for me anyway.
