Gemsets are still useful. see http://tenderlovemaking.com/2011/11/30/psa-the-number-of-gem...

Thank you for this, I did not realize it was the case but it definitely makes sense. Back to using gemsets I suppose...

I'd rather do gemsets than preface commands with "bundle exec"

yes! Though I just discovered the other day you can use the --binstubs option which obviates the need to use bundle exec in the project

Isn't that exchanging bundle exec command for ./bin/command ? Still not as convenient as just using command
