I switched to asdf years ago for the exact opposite reason, I was tired of having a different tool for each language that I needed to maintain. It adds up, at one point I was using six different vm tools.

Asdf really simplified my daily usage.

I mean -- that's the reason I switched to asdf, but my point is mostly that languages are building these tools into them so there's no split ecosystem, it doesn't require shell hacks and has much better ux than if it were provided externally like asdf is. I appreciate asdf for unifying all the shell hacks but rustup works way better than any other tool. As languages start to do this, asdf starts to become a mono-tasker for node for me.
