I haven't seen this at all, and am actually baffled that you're talking about dom. My experience of him has been the literal opposite.
He didn't cargo cult his software into the ecosystem. He made the ecosystem. Nimble is the package manager because there was no package manager until dom wrote one. Jester is the default web framework because it was first, and despite its age it's still pretty good. Same for choosenim. And asyncdispatch. And all of the other tools/libraries that he wrote.
Obviously writing some early software doesn't give him a free pass. I could understand the attitude if he was a jerk, but I've never seen him be anything but helpful.
