A lot of them show Ruby version - what is the point of that? Is it often changed and you must know about it while you are in terminal?

You can switch rubies rather seamlessly with rvm. Not a Ruby dev (yet) but I assume showing you the version at all times will hopefully stop you from wasting time debugging a problem with the wrong interpreter.
