Our review
What we like
CLI and shell plugin to auto-switch runtime versions based on per-directory configuration. Reads tool versions file(s) to determine which runtime to install and link to. Supports Bash, Zsh, Fish, Xonsh. Supports asdf plugins. Designed for performance by not using shims (~120ms overhead in asdf) instead updating PATH to directly call runtimes.
What we don't like
No Windows support. Can conflict with direnv.
