I am just starting out with programming and my biggest struggle with Python has been installing modules and eggs and configuring it to work with the server and a database. I had not touched PHP yet because everyone said Python/Ruby are superior. One day I decided to, and was amazed at how quickly/easily I could write a dynamic website with a database back-end that didn't require forever to configure and throw up errors every 3 seconds.
Excellent. Now you can go ahead and implement all those things in the modules YOU have written and open-sourced. I think everybody is free to rant on their own blog. But if we were having a conversation, I would tell you that this entitled approach to open source simply doesn't work.
