Having to release an entirely new version of cryptocurrency in order to apply changes to the protocol, releasing mandatory updates and changing the protocol every few weeks because you have absolutely no idea what you are doing doesn't mean you are a good coder, let alone a great one.
You do know change is part of improving something right? Unlike Bitcoin we don't want to support a protocol developed in 2009 when we have more knowledge on how a true p2p currency should work. People liking the fact Bitcoin will never change is fine, they can stick with Bitcoin.

And in regards to artforz it's just because he is wired that way. First with the spam attack on SolidCoin v1, then trying to preempt SolidCoin 2 with a fake CPU coin (tenebrix) because I said we would be moving to a CPU algorithm, then with the GPU SC miner he only used himself and with friends before mtrlt released his. The list goes on, this guy is involved in many "behind the back" dealings that we know of. Only he could tell you the stuff we don't know about, but the things we do know are pretty damning, in my opinion.
Of course on this forum you'll get people thinking he is a "legend" for attacking the "evil SolidCoin" and they're blind to everything else. So what can you do.
