Rubyist Survey: Ruby ri documentation viewer

Rubyists, how do you use ri? Very often? Sometimes? Occasionally? Rarely? Not at all? Never heard of it?

Hint: Type โ€˜ri --helpโ€™

Never. My first step when configuring a new machine is to configure Ruby gem to not generate documentation. I find more useful answers online, google, stack overflow, or lately, ChatGPT and Co-Pilot.
