He's a legend, they're legends, everyone who does this is.
Of course! His idea has been widely admired.
Yup, the work that he has done before is continuously done by other Bitcoin enthusiasts nowadays and it's not something as new that they're able to do.
But then, there is a root on when and how it all started.
And as for the haters, I doubt they changed their posture either, since for what I can tell most people are not really rational on their train of thought, so even if you could demonstrate something beyond any reasonable doubt, if the conclusion went against their beliefs, they will reject your conclusion no matter what, so I suppose many of those people still hate bitcoin to this day.
Many still no doubt about that.
But I think that the narrative has changed and it will continue to change as well.
