My problem with UB is that by promoting his brand and his style so much to junior developers (in both subtle and fairly overt ways), he's warped the mind of a lot of people in a way that effects them for a long time and the people around them. I don't really have anything personally against UB, but dealing with the code that one of his acolytes creates is deeply frustrating and often they claim it's "best practice" even though there's basically no validation around most of his claims and if you read the criticism, they're fairly common sense.
