Did you find that you needed fewer after the upgrade? I'm in the middle of moving my 2.3.5 app to 3.0.3 and am finding that there are fewer plugins as some are now part of rails or made redundant; jrails and subdomain-fu come to mind.

Did you guys try to move to haml/sass from the existing view templates/stylesheets? Would like to know if you guys had good success rate moving to haml on a big existing project...

We use Sass, but not Haml. We have been on Sass for a couple years, so it wasn't much of an impact to the upgrade in that regard.

Great. How long did the move take? I'm assuming u started during the beta days of rails 3 and eventually made it to 3.0.1?

I did not know that git had a grep command -- super handy.

I mentioned this in your Blog Comments but I thought I'd bring it up here. I mentioned that it would be interesting to see a portion of your QA spreadsheet you mentioned in your article.

Did I mention that I like the word mention?
