I don't think anyone would argue he hasn't had a big role in either company's success. Clearly you can be a non-developer founder without being that "ideas guy".

Great point. I love the fact that Alexis also documented all of his start-up ideas on his blog. Interestingly only a few came to be successful.

However, if I had to bet on which one had staying power, it'd be Alexis. I have a lot of respect and admiration for him.
