Is he really that hands off of Ruby (compared to Guido and Python?)

No, he's very much hands on in big decisions. Proof: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4849646

However, he's certainly easily persuaded by reason, consensus and results and Ruby has now split into multiple competing implementations, so "dictator" has always seemed a harsh term for him to me.
