I have been debating this same thing. There are so many changes that have been made since our site was first built (late 2006) that I almost wonder if starting a clean site from blank, fixing all the gems that need replacing, replacing test with Rspec and then regenerating the models, controllers and views would work. I am trying to learn Rails, Ruby and the whole thing all at once. I find that Rails 3 is much friendlier to a noob like myself and it is frustrating to spend time learning deprecated methods of doing things when I could benefit from knowing the current way things are done. Both are a lot of work, but rebuilding the site in 3.0 and making it functional with newer gems is tempting.
Right now, I am learning a lot about why our 2.1.0 site will break. >From obsolete gems to deprecated code, tests that need to be updated to match migrations to the tables, etc... It all makes my head hurt.
