If we take a look at the results, I'm not convinced she is a good guy just because she was there at the beginning. There is a chart with her salary going up and Firefox usage going down. Looks like an X.
If anything, how come she didn't make it a success on the very limited market?
Even if she wasn't a bad actor in the beginning, she could have changed her opinion and be seduced by the money.
Just for comparison: a few people made a completely new engine in a few years. Task often thought as impossible (they had 200k USD for the start). Mozilla started servo, then when they saw its going well, decided to abandon it?
So what was Mozilla spending the money on? Many have requested the ability to donate for Firefox development, but it was never allowed: they (she?) wanted to distribute the donation money on things they thought were important?
For years they made decisions that the uses hated. How else to explain this?
