I'm pretty sure DHH won't give a monkeys about it. I wouldn't if I was a millionaire, created Rails and ran Basecamp.
It did have some good points like basically DHH allows us to write Ruby for a living and how DHH has quite a narrow perspective on certain things. Personally I quite enjoy DHHs abrasive style. Without that Rails would not be where it is today.
