Who said there was any advantage of either approach over the other? 
(And why do so many people interpret the provision of relevant 
information as somehow pejorative to the information already available?)

slime.vim happens to be a better fit for most of my work, because I'm 
working with multiple external interpreters.  Built-in support for a 
particular Ruby interpreter is definitely cool, but it's not quite as 
flexible.
