My two cents, in case it cheers anybody up: I do actively use AS in several projects, private (3) and at work (3, soon 4) (telco provider). At work the AS projects are just now starting to get bigger (2 active RoR developers and counting). Given the nature of the projects, AS really helped tackling the core problems. It does this by mostly removing the need to handle the usual controller/view part in detail.
Call it lack of vision, call it content, but we mostly use AS as it is, happily embracing every new feature we never missed but somebody else thought of. You might see this as an argument pro feature- completeness. So far Volkers branch is great for my single private RoR3 project, but we still shy away from migrating our RoR2 projects, due to the too different code base (actually: I dont really now HOW different it is...*THINK*...I just use AS as always until something goes wrong, then I read the group or Volkers Blog or ask Volker directly (always getting insta-answers, just as from Sergio)).
