The fact that you feel the need to disparage a man who, as part of a two-man team, charted the course for personal computing in the 1980's, workstation computing and CGI in the 1990's, and then went on to build the world's most valuable consumer electronics company – says more about you than it says about Steve Jobs. You might not like people who care about aesthetics, but I doubt you'd fare particularly well in a comparison test vs. Steve f-ing Jobs. Talk about a lack of perspective!

His comment is not about Steve Jobs. It's about this ridiculous tendency of people to form cults around people.

I don't agree with the comment you're replying to, but if we all had to be equals to the icons we criticize... the online world of commentary, discussion, and blogs would cease to exist. I'm not American, but it would be like not being able to criticize the president without someone saying "see how you'd fare in a comparison against Barack O-f-ing-Bama".

in all honesty I think wozniak deserves more credit and bill gates did more to get affordable home computers to the mass than jobs did. But I have no doubts Jobs would of been successful regardless.

That is extremely debatable.

which part is debatable ?

If you want to think Woz and Bill Gates did "more" than Steve Jobs, then you are entitled to that view. I don't agree, but I don't care enough to argue my point.
