Probably because it makes more sense to people new to Ruby when the code is
in a more traditional format;

i.e.

File.open(file_name, 'w')

Personally the openess of Ruby cased problems for me when I first moved over
(and still does sometimes).  I love the fact that you can do things many
different ways in ruby, but when you're trying to learn the language and
you're given 10 different options with 10 different explanations it becomes
much more confusing than only having 1 or 2 ways.  :(
