Ruby seems to be quoted as an elegant language, and it certainly has its followers, and the number of Ends (vs. Begins in Pascal) are just as numerous, yet this is never cited.

Syntax is definitely a personal preference. I know multiple PLs from different families, and even then, I still prefer a certain syntax.

Well, except that the cascade of ends is a frequent complaint about Ruby, rather than something "never cited".
