Yeah, I'm not his biggest fan but you can't argue that he's done well to keep things going for the inevitable resurgence we're currently experiencing. It's a shame there are some theories I wish he wouldn't cling to so strongly (like the whole "licensed-only" think) but if we only have to put up with the occasional Avengers to receive Star Trek, I can deal with it :)
Needs to work on managing code updates, though!
I'll still be seeing him talk in Texas next month. I'm not going just to see him (not when God aka Steve Ritchie is there) but as long as he doesn't bring up the "easy to learn, hard to master" mantra *again*, I'm sure his presentation will be worthwhile.
