Quick question: do you still need gemsets if you use Bundler? And why would you prefer using one instead of the other?

Quick question: do you still need gemsets if you use Bundler? And why would you prefer using one instead of the other?
- why-el 11y agoGemsets are redundant when you use Bundler. Your second question will boil down to opinion but Bundler has been extremely solid in my experience. The feature set is huge and the work ethic of the core team is commendable.
- regularfry 11y agoI still use isolated $GEM_HOME directories for each project on my dev machine, and don't rely on bundler to separate installations on production machines. In my mind, bundler was never really needed for that - it was a complexity step further than was required - so I never set myself up to rely on it, instead relying on a simpler mechanism which doesn't need runtime tooling support. As a result, I never have to run `bundle exec`. How much you might prefer this will probably be more dependent on how much you appreciate simplicity.
