I don't follow the goings-on at WotC much since 4E was released, so I wasn't aware of what some of these respected designers were doing. This list gives me a few new game publishers to check out. Thanks for that.
I met Kim 10 years ago when interviewing for an editing job at WotC. In addition to being a really nice guy, it was very obvious how much he loved D&D. Best to him in his retirement.
