How much code do you have in 3.1? There are some breaking changes, for example, a new keyword is "label." If you had an old variable name "label", then you will run into a breaking condition. If you are just starting out and have very little code in 3.1 then I would jump right into 4.0 and skip 3.1. With the new standard library, development time is drastically reduced in 4.0.
The only reason I would suggest someone stay with 3.1 is if they have a lot of production code in 3.1. They need to keep it around for a failsafe until they see how their code is going to work in 4.0.

Yes, you should switch - both because you'll want to learn the new features, and because some of them will make your code clearer, cleaner, and easier to write.
