That's not the same argument at all. "know language X" != "be smart".

I am specifically calling out people that _don't know Ruby_ and complain about the language being this or that, when really their frustrations come from them being inexperienced in the language.

It is like never having used a hammer, gripping it close by the head, and complaining that it takes a lot of effort to nail things. Blame's not on the hammer, bud.

This might happen with every language. I don't know. I'm a Ruby developer and have seen this countless times. Also, none of this equates to saying that ruby is perfect. It is not.
