When I look at remote gems I see:

I've been using ruby-libvirt, but maybe I should give libvirt a try? Has anyone used libvirt (0.2.0) and developed opinions they'd like to share?
I'm biased since I am the maintainer of ruby-libvirt, but I think you should stick with ruby-libvirt :). I do more active maintenance of the bindings than what I saw in the "libvirt" gem, and since I monitor the libvirt list I keep a very up-to-date with what is going on. The downside is that if you are using anything but MRI, the ruby-libvirt bindings won't work. Since most people are not, this is not usually an issue, but it is something to consider. -- Chris Lalancette
