Since Vertoe was the 2nd or 3rd most important DARK core dev, I'll take his word over your "gold donkey" pumping.

Vertoe's rant does nothing to address any of the technical arguments in this thread, as any reasonable observer can see.

The only point in your quote is the 'key-man-risk' around Evan leading the project. On that, I would say this is a risk, but it's a risk that many successful projects have faced.

Satoshi was key-man for BTC before others got involved. Other coins have lead devs that are critical to the project.

DASH is also open-source and has other developers on-board.

In the context of XMR vs DRK (that is the thread title isn't it, not 'attack DRK any way you can') I would say that DRK has more key-man risk than XMR, but how much I don't know. How critical is fluffypony to the project, for instance. Also, how much do you really know about Evan & the DASH foundation's succession planning, documentation, contact with other developers etc. Not a lot I'd wager.

And that is the whole point.
