いまどきのRails/Rubyな開発環境を紹介したエントリがあった。
Mac or Ubuntu、Homebrew、Bundler、Powとほぼ予想通りなんだけど、複数のRubyインタプリタの切り替えにはRVMじゃなくてrbenv/ruby-buildを挙げている。その理由は以下の通り。
rbenv is a very young project. I've been using it for over a month now and find it much more to my liking. Additionally, I did not appreciate the reaction of RVM's author Wayne Seguin. To me, when you build open source software, you should expect (and hope) that something better comes along to replace your software. I have no interest in supporting projects that are just as much about stroking the author's ego as getting things done. Sam Stephenson has proven with Prototype.js that he is a pragmatic developer that is open to alternatives. That is an attitude I can get on board with.
RVMの作者がわざとrbenvを無視しているということでもないのだろうけど、"I have no interest in supporting projects that are just as much about stroking the author's ego as getting things done." という考え方には同意できるかな。
