My main praise for them comes in putting out great movies I wouldn't have otherwise ever known of, like The Human Condition or Rififi, but yeah thier fan boys are basically just another category of nerd, and a lot of them seem to think that a movie isn't worthwie unless Criterion puts it out, I love what they do, but they are far from a be all end all of cinema. They, like many record labels (sub pop, southern lord, etc.) specialize in attracting those to whom collecting things appeal to, myself being one of them. Chronological spine numbers is always a guarantee for OCD nerd money.
