    <blockquote> <p>What benefit is there to using the Rails Gem instead of having it in vendor/rails?</p> </blockquote> <p>The biggest benefit is that you do not carry around the full rails source code with your project, the other benefit is that moving to a newer version of rails is going to involve less effort. </p> <p>Keep in mind that the gem command will allow you to install a specific version of a gem.</p> <blockquote> <p>Is there any benefit to using Rails 2.3.2? Some of the plugins I hoped to use don't seem to be compatible with 2.3.2 (ActiveScaffold)? Does it offer a great improvement over 2.2?</p> </blockquote> <p>A <a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/2_3_release_notes.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">lot has changed</a> from rails 2.2 to 2.3.2, there are also a bunch of security, performance and bug fixes. <a href="http://activescaffold.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ActiveScaffold</a> is compatible with rails 2.3.2, as are most of the plugins out there. If you are starting a new project I would recommend using the latest and greatest. </p> <blockquote> <p>What is the benefit of using Ruby 1.9? Many plugins aren't yet compatible. Does it offer a great improvement over older versions?</p> </blockquote> <p>Ruby 1.9 is much faster than Ruby 1.8.x, however adoption of 1.9 is not that high. Rails 2.3.2 works just fine on Ruby 1.9, however there are some plugins and gems that do not. Make sure you read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1033484/is-it-feasible-to-use-ruby-1-9-for-rails-yet">this stackoverflow</a> question on the topic.</p>
