I do like ruby a lot but I never grokked what was so great about _why, even though I coded ruby when he was active. Felt like a cargo cult. Maybe it was the depressive vibe of his stuff.

He was a poet who could code. Not a software engineer.

Same here. I never understood why the poignant guide is so loved. I could never get past the first couple pages cuz it felt so random.
Always thought I was missing something.
