Heidegger personally eviscerated Sartre in Letter on Humanism. Hubert Dreyfus, in his fantastic explication of Being and Time, showed that Sartre followed Husserl in the less radical, now surpassed representation-based theory of mind. When Richard Rorty explicitly tackles the question of who are the "giants of the twentieth century," Sartre is not even on the radar screen.

And Rorty is in political lockstep with Sartre, so that's relatively telling.
