Gruber's post contains nothing substantive except for "The criticism is simply that Roboto is ungainly, homely, unharmonious."

The remainder of the post is a diatribe that only succeeds in saying "nobody else likes it either."

I'd say it was more:

"Roboto is ungainly, homely, unharmonious and it looks exactly like Helvetica, which of course is gainly, beautiful and harmonious."

Well, he clearly felt that three adjectives to describe the font was sufficient. I would have to agree. Of course everything on Daring Fireball is normally in the context of how a certain topic pertains to Apple which the rest of the article covers succinctly.
