Couldn't disagree more. RVM actually makes like a lot easier for beginners IMO. The install is simple and easy (just run the script) and works perfectly fine on pretty much any version of Ubuntu.
Using RVM allows beginners to tinker with various versions of Ruby in a non-traumatic way and keeps each project in its own gemset to avoid version conflicts and issues with dependencies. Once installed correctly, with wrappers in place, it works identical to native ruby only you don't have to "sudo" so much. It's a great place to both start and finish as a ruby developer. I run RVM locally and in production and I advise all the newbies I help out to do the same. Particularly on an OS X dev environment, native ruby is a pain and RVM alleviates most of those pain points.
