One suggestion; if you claim a lens is good or crappy perhaps you should describe how it is good or crappy. This might help orient the discussion around technical merit rather than name calling. There are many parameters which define a lens. Now for my 2ct on the 35f2 (non is). I have never own this lens but have never been 'wooed' by images I've seen taken with this lens. It seems to have decent resolution but seems to be a bit dull and I personally find the bokeh distracting.
Btw blur does depend on more than just aperture (or equivalent aperture). Lens design can change not only the bokeh but also the amount of blur given a fixed focal length/aperture/format. There is an interesting zeiss paper that discuss how the design can impact the transition around CoC.
