It is indubitable that people should be judged by the totality of their actions, yet it is rarely so. I think at least some communities judge _why by the way he exited stage right in the middle of the play.

so it would be better if he never left the stage but didn't produce half of the excellent material (both written and in code) that he did?

Thankfully I don't belong to 'communities' that consider things that way...
