Hi Cheri, You are not alone in having trouble keeping up. Definitely stick with Rails, since the migration forward there will be less painful than a switch to Merb and then to Rails 3 would be (in sum, each part would probably be less painful). One thing you can do to reduce the pain is to keep up a little bit all the time. Maybe take a few hours once a month and move to the latest stable parts. Dedicated time spent upgrading is way easier than having to make a big move all at once when you need a new feature.
