Bundler's "condescension" was a real error message, albeit a terse one. I expanded it 18 days ago. If you think it's still condescending, please suggest a better way of phrasing the error.

what I felt was rude was not the thing Bundler said but the thing Bundler does. if you know people are expecting rubygems to be the default, you don't tell them "oops you forgot to type rubygems, sucks to be you." you just make it the default.

you had an issue open for this on GitHub but it was closed with very little explanation. mind if I reopen it?
