I agree that a number of Blitz coders have come up with good high quality games and are enjoying success as indie developers, but trying to organize them into some kind of `who is better than who` list is not only never going to be agreed to by everyone, but is also really an attack on other individuals who are almost certainly going to be excluded from the list.
There are a lot of people out there right now who either recognize that this list is more to do with hero worship that they don't need, or that it's a way of saying that they are not good enough. Do we really need to get into this?
It's all very well recognizing or observing what others have been doing and perhaps being inspired by that on an individual basis, but then trying to turn it into a competition pits us *all* against each other, whether we are on the list or not. We don't need to be dividing the community this way.
We are all trying to give our opinion about who we think is the best or who deserves to be in the list and on what terms, but by the time we've gotten into this kind of evaluation of each other we've already judged others to be not worthy. We wont ever be able to agree to who is most deserving or for what reason, so it really only inspires additional division between us.
