Agreed. If I could add one feature to ruby, it would be to remove several of the duplicate ways to accomplish things. I know, that's also a strength of ruby, but I do like simplicity. I've thought about defining a "ruby-lite" that cuts what I consider to be the extra stuff out. Just a dream. Ruby is still very nice.
