Uh, you're hating ruby for calling it's package management system  
"RubyGems"? That's like hating perl for CPAN or php for whatever it  
is php has. Now obviously CPAN is hate-worthy, but not for it's name,  
surely.

And Rakefile... um, makefile? But not, because a makefile is for make?

Surely this is misdirected hate...
