Pick RVM when

Legacy Ruby codebases pinned to old Rubies
Solo devs juggling multiple Ruby versions
Rails apps that rely on gemsets

When RVM is not a fit

New Ruby projects, asdf or mise is today's default
Polyglot teams needing one tool for many languages
Anyone wanting vendor-backed support or SLAs
Non-developers, it's a command-line tool, nothing more
