Old discusion. But my 2$ ;)

If you deploy to for example boxed environment, or host that does have 
ruby but don't have rubygems, or project requires that all dependencies 
(gems in this case) be unpacked and stored in svn/git. You might find 
that his little `require 'rubygems'` suddenly breaks application 
deployed into production.

It's a host responsibility to provide library, whatever way it sees fit 
- rubygems is just one option.
