About the same as Theo de Raadt of OpenBSD fame. Well maybe a tad bit more abrasive...

Having had substantive conversations with both Theo and Linus I’m going to have to say although both guys are totally genius, Linus is an order of magnitude better at engineering management. Theo is too much control freak, though he’s improved some in recent years.
