Zahl is quite a personality. The real issue is not his personality, but his handling of the engine, though.
When you listen to him speak about things that have to do with code, you might get the impression he's the most pedantic, most clean and precise and optimization-loving coder on the planet.
The multiple commentaries on GZDoom's current state that I've read from other coders and the performance that I see with my own eyes, feature creep, half-baked things hacked in just because Influential Modder X asked for it, all of this adds up to a pretty messy heap of code.
