I used nvm for years, but my development workflow became more and more terminal-oriented to the point I was spawning new ones several times an hour. Nvm took almost a second to launch, easily consuming 99% of the startup time for each shell. I tried writing some custom code to lazy load nvm only when I needed it which worked alright, but I ended up switching to Asdf because it loads almost instantaneously and haven’t looked back. The fact that it supports managing multiple different tools is a nice bonus, but I really only use it for node.

I think I started using it for much the same reason; I was having trouble with the official node installer. But once I uninstalled rvm as well, I was sold. Now I can have a project with a specific elixir/erlang/node version written into my `.tool-versions` file, and I don't have to worry about anything.
