It's a lot different when you're working with certain teams of mixed technical aptitudes. An automatically assembled VM image I can distribute means much less time supporting our less technical members of the dev team (front-end, designers, biz dev guys).
If it's just you, absolutely, don't bother. But it gets much more difficult to support a variety of platforms and configurations as your team size grows. This is where vagrant+chef/puppet really shine.

At my previous work we had 'standard' VM with all necessary tools such as Visual Studio 97. I just dont understand if it brings so much benefits if all you just need is different version of Ruby.
