I think as a developer it must suck, if your code is merely "copy & pasted" by a inferior developer and then used for their personal gain. Like we are seeing being done with Bitcoin now. Most of these forks are just a copy & paste job and it is not backed by good developers.
The fact that it is then pumped to replace Bitcoin, is actually a slap in the face to the developers who contributed the most to the original Bitcoin. Satoshi's code being raped and pillaged by people who says that they are protecting it. ^joke^
