Why do people hate on John Romero? O_o

Daikatana is part of it. It doesn't help that he has a poor reputation. Also, Romero has had no success without Carmack. That leads people to believe that maybe he was never that talented in the first place.

But interestingly, Carmack (id that is) never made quite the games that they used to when Romero was around. The new Rage trailer does not get my hopes up.

This clearly shows that tech beats design, since Carmak is still respected, while Romero apparently is not. 

Umm... No. Carmack is respected because he's one of the best if not the best at what he does. Romero is not. In fact, I don't think he's made anything good after he left id. That said, id's games might be better if Romero was still with them. Right now they're a bit... soulless?
