Thank you for wrapping this up. I absolutely agree that every developer should read this book. The book gives really good advice on how to code and also what to express with code. In my personal opinion, Uncle Bob sometimes is a bit extremistic in making an argument though. He tends to explain a single aspect so sharply pointed, that it can be in the neighbourhood of "wrong" or contradicts his own arguments from other chapters. So when reading the book, each thing should be seen as a proposition how to work. Trying to understand what the author wants to express and how he came there is key to understanding the argument and bringing it to life under the own circumstances.
What I don't like is to see this book as the "Holy Bible of code", which indicates that every single letter has to be obeyed to. Not understanding the rationale but still adhering to the words as they were written can cause all different kinds of new classes of problem.
