Who is Dave Ramsey and why some people seem to dislike him?

From the NY Times business section, re books by Ramsey, Ormond and Kiyosaki:

Reconsidering the Advice in 3 Popular Personal Finance Books
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/11/business/suze-orman-robert-kiyosaki-dave-ramsey-books.html

They all have something worthwhile to offer, but after rereading them, I found that all had a glaring omission: a lack of substantive advice on investing. You will have to go elsewhere for an in-depth discussion of how to set up a portfolio and choose among stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds or mutual funds.
