I did not make the original comment, however the Encoding situation in 
1.9 is still the reason why I have not moved to 1.9.

I love ruby but I don't know if I will use 1.9. I am too lazy to deal 
with all the Encoding stuff, especially as I myself simply do not need 
the Encoding at all.

I use Ruby as a replacement over PHP and Perl.

Perhaps one day I find an easy way to walk over with all my äöü Umlauts 
in my .rb files but until that day comes, Ruby 1.9.x just complains 
about it, and I couldn't care less if it does. I don't know to which 
other language I will move, Ruby spoiled me. :(

I am only glad ruby 1.8.x still works and I will probably end up using 
it as long as possible before I will either eventually switch to another 
language or somehow learn to deal with the Encoding crap.
