I am partial to type design and I used to frequent Typophile and few other places where type designers hang out. It was always everyone's understanding that Hoefler and Frere-Jones were equal partners. H however has always been big on self-promotion and he generally had this aura of a cocky know-it-all, while FJ was more down to earth and approachable. FJ is 100% in the right here and H is just a greedy asshole. I lost all respect to him as I suspect did many in designer circles.
