I'm torn, because while ESR did add a lot of emphasis on Unix/C culture (which is very important in hacker history), the last five or ten years he's really taken it off the rails, adding terms from war blogging and other sources that really have nothing to do with hacking at all.

And terms of his own devising that haven't caught on. That seems like the cardinal sin of a lexicographer.
