I'll remove the comparison to Gensim :). It really wasn't meant to be an attack on Gensim. I think it's a good and versatile library that handles a lot, but the aim of Magnitude was to be what Keras is to TensorFlow, a simpler interface.
For the record, the claim was "Pythonic interface" not "Python" interface because we support some Pythonic syntactic sugar like "cat in vectors" with the "__contains__" method and "for key, vector in vectors" with the "__iter__" method. It wasn't meant to be in bad faith, but I could see how that claim could be misinterpreted, so I will remove it.
The interface is very similar to Gensim's, but Gensim is after all open source, and we made it very similar on purpose so it could be easily swapped out in our own internal codebase :).
Like I said, I think Gensim's a great library! Thanks making us aware of your concerns, I also sent you an e-mail. I'll update the repository later today to remove the comparison.
