Considering how widely Lennarts code got adopted: You must be missing something.
Seriously? You're invoking argumentum ad popularum (which is a logical fallacy to begin with) in a discussion of linux technical details? That's so illogical I can't even.
You said Lennart is obnoxious and there is nothing like a big "that is not my problem" to not get your project adopted.
IMHO he does manage to get his projects widely adopted. His personality does not seem to have the effect you claim it has.
