I think I've read about Phil's shortcomings, but in the end he made it happen both technically and politically. I'm ok with software being a community effort and the less talented being helped by the more. Its a group effort to me and I don't believe in the coder superman mythos is required for good software. Not everyone can be a Linus or a Carmack.
