Usually when evaluating a new technology, one of the important things to do is look at the public support channels and see the kinds of problems people are having and the solutions.
If you are looking in there and keep seeing someone who is very often right but also very condescending about it, you can tell they tolerate brilliant jerks.
I've worked with a lot of brilliant jerks in my life so it doesn't bother me, but it bothers a lot of other people, so I still try to avoid it.

This is a good perspective. There's a gradient of intersections of levels of Brilliant and Jerk, and everyone has a cutoff point for Jerk where Brilliant stops being worth it. If you optimize for Brilliant and try to limit Jerk, it's probably easier to referee between a Jerk and someone with a different tolerance when they have to work together since there's less distance between tolerance levels.
