It's the same with Jobs and Wozniak. That seems to be how it works. You have the frontman with charisma and vision who tries to claim all of the credit, and then you have the geek toiling in the backroom to make it all work, who gets pushed aside once the company is established.
The exception to the rule is John Carmack and Id Software, probably mostly because John Romero thought he was a rock star and flamed out so spectacularly.
