I probably agree with half of these criticisms, but they are all pretty minor. I wish ruby 1.9 would get a cleanup, but I think it is just getting more features.

What is wrong with these python people?

Just because they are given no options by their language of choice and are forced into following strict and arbitrary rules, they think a language that provides options is 'unclean' and 'messy'.

What is wrong with a language that lets you express yourself in whichever way seems most intuitive to you? The only thing that comes to mind is future maintainability when the code changes owners.

tim-toady all the way.
