I would not call Weiss "whiny", I would call her "judgmental". "whiny" people make alot of noise when something bad happens to them(which, funnily enough, more accurately describes Jaune), often for little or no reason, while "judgmental" people judge people very harshly for their flaws, real or perceived. And that's exactly what Weiss does, she judged Ruby to be incompetent every time she screwed up.

Remember, Weiss is big on perfection, so someone who's less perfect(especially someone who is supposed to be her leader)rubs her the wrong way. Look back at whenever Weiss snapped at Ruby - it was almost always whenever Ruby messed up. Did she take it out of proportion? Yes; but it was still real problems that Weiss was getting angry at.

And Ruby made efforts to correct those problems, and so we haven't really seen Weiss snap at Ruby lately. They've both got a ways to go, but they're improving, and I think that's what counts.

'Because she's a terrorist' is only part of why Blake distrusts authority, it's not the only reason. I'm not awkward at social gatherings because I'm autistic; it's also because have sensitive hearing that causes me to "eavesdrop" on every conversation in the room at once; because I have sensory integration issues that mean it takes a second or two to process other peoples words; and because strangers intimidate me.

Sure, Yang is "feisty"(whatever that means), and there were better ways to do ask questions, but is that all there is to her? No. Other people above me have already pointed out what else there there is to see in her, and hint to more lurking under the surface.
