I don't agree with that either. I think that there are legit as well as illegitimate use cases and that people don't always understand which is which. That said, I don't think it's any reason to dismiss Bundler.
I believe the core of Bundler - the multiple gem activation algorithm - should be part of RubyGems itself. If that is part of RubyGems then it would take away the need to use Bundler for many non-web app projects.
