Maybe for you. rvm/bundler pretty much saved my sanity. There is absolutely
a need for them in the Ruby ecosystem. In fact, I've even heard people say
"I don't want to use a programming language without something like rvm ever

Not really. rubygems is about managing packages that are installed on your
system and their versions. isolate/bundler are about managing which packages
and versions are used with your application. The tools are complimentary.

That's specifically what isolate/bundler help with.
