I’d say from a grantee pov, which is I guess a large fraction of the highly-engaged EA community (eg commenters on a post like this), Dustin/GV/OP have mostly appeared as an aggregate blob—“where the money comes from”. And I’ve heard so much frustration & disappointment about OP over the years! (Along with a lot of praise of course.) That said, I get the spirit of your comment, I wouldn’t want to overstate how negative people are about Dustin or OP.
And for the record I’ve spent considerable energy criticizing OP myself, though not quite so far as “frustration” or “disappointment”.
