While antirez is a great programmer, I think his accomplishments are far from that of Dean or Carmack. There are many notable folks in his playing field.

I disagree. For example, homebrew isn't the best package manager. But its vast reach is a feat of its own.

Same with redis. Is it the best DB ever? Probably not. But it is definitely used quite a bit in the industry and a lot of people get acquainted with nosql databases and k/v stores through redis.

Engineering accomplishments without proper marketing, education and adoption are quite useless, for better or for worse
