I do remember that Satoshi complained about GPUs and even asked people to stop using them:
We should have a gentleman's agreement to postpone the GPU arms race as long as we can for the good of the network. It's much easer to get new users up to speed if they don't have to worry about GPU drivers and compatibility. It's nice how anyone with just a CPU can compete fairly equally right now.
I'm pretty sure that it was Jeff Garzik (that's right, Mr. "Satoshi's Vision") that broke or decided against that particular agreement (Garzik publicly released some crucial part of GPU mining software for Bitcoin).
I guess he could've kept it to himself, but it definitely helped to exacerbate the "early adopters" complaints (however short sighted those comments are, even today), and Garzik certainly didn't want to respect Satoshi's thoughts on the matter (which were arguably a little naive, if people like Garzik had held back, someone else would have written GPU mining code eventually anyway).
