I hear that! We still have implied genders, though (ships are feminine, for example). As to French, which I don't know, there's no neuter gender for articles? In Spanish there is.

>I have learned some French (2 genders) and am learning German (3 genders) now. I can tell you one vast improvement in English was dropping of those darn genders from the language. It makes nouns easier, which in turn makes verbs and adjectives easier. Would I guess correctly that Dutch also has 3 genders?
