Marak is definitely unpleasant for some. However, he regularly contributes code to the community that people consider useful. For example among many high profile developers, Tim Caswell, a cornerstone of the Node.js community voted 5/5 for utility on the Nodejitsu Node Knockout entry. You're acting like you're a part of the Node.js community? If you or anyone is going to be so negative, they should at least have one or more nodejs projects that have been publicly noted as useful or relevant. So ironically, you're quite a troll.
