I, too, don’t get the “I’m better than X” grumbling when a friend does well. Clearly I have no experience with this in the pro market, but obviously fandom operates the same way, and I have to say that while I admit to thinking certain writers are over-rated at times, I’ve never been personally jealous of somebody’s success (number of comments, number of recs) and especially not when they’re a friend.
(Meanwhile, I love Charlaine Harris’s books, too. I just wish I loved the HBO series as much *g*)
