Personally I swapped from rbenv to asdf a while back. I don't think there's any real justification for one over another these days, just use the one you're comfortable with :D

Happy asdf user here. If you're only using ruby, then asdf isn't much better or worse - but asdf is great for supporting other toolchain, like python, crystal, rust, go... AFAIK the asdf ruby plug-in uses rbenv under the hood.

I've switch from rbenv to chruby[1] years ago. Seems simpler and doesn't have the rehash command that is (was?) required with rbenv. All it does it adjust your PATH.

rbenv handles only ruby versions, whereas rvm also handles gem installations. I think it's simpler when you let rbenv handle ruby versions and bundler handle the gems, because you have to deal with bundler anyway.
