Engines VS rails3
So in the recent doubleshot http://afreshcup.com/2009/04/24/double-shot-438/ there is the comment "Tips for writing your own Rails engine .... I’d wait for Rails 3 if I could myself." What is planned for Rails3 that is preferable over Engines? Would not moving to Engines now make it easier to adapt to Rails3 anyway?

The engines support in Rails 2.3 (at the moment, at least) is really just the simplest possible to support an app directory and loading routes.
