This suggestion worries me a little, because I have found that the
conversion is not simple.

If version 2.0 is compellingly superior to 1.x, then newbies should
start there.  (Using the latest stable version is a long-standing
tradition in software, because it is effective.)  Nothing in this long
and useful discussion thread suggests that the RoR developers are
inclined to add the feature that is being discussed to an upcoming
version.  And so there is a simple choice: use RoR 2.0 as it is, or
choose another framework.  (This second option is not meant to be
heretical; newbies should be aware that there are alternatives.)
