Drew Karpyshyn's opinion(of Darth Bane) about Darth Sidious

Interviewer: "What would Darth Bane think of Darth Sidious and his stewardship of the Sith Order?"

Drew Karpyshyn: "My completely unofficial opinion is that he’d be disappointed in Sidious. I got the feeling the Emperor wasn’t really interested in finding someone strong enough to take his place; he was more interested in ruling forever. He also violated the Rule of Two several times – he had Darth Maul working for him while Dooku was his apprentice, and when Vader was his apprentice his focus was on using Vader to recruit Luke. Add in some of the extended universe information and you find out that Sidious had all sorts of people he was grooming and training in the dark side – he twisted the Rule of Two into something Bane wouldn’t even recognize. If you ask Bane, he’d probably say that’s why the Emperor lost."

He did fvck up though, Vader would've been Bane's wet dream. But instead he failed to see his apprentice's mental shortcomings. Which wasted the single greatest prospect the Sith Order ever had.

Even Bane, at his own turn, is some sort of "impostor". If we take it chronologically, Krayt should be the "truest" Sith - because his Rule of One is similar to Ajunta Pall's leadership system.

Depending on the source you look at, yes, he was two-timing them.

Who cares about what Bane thinks?

All Sith think other Sith are trash

Some respect others.

Simms was extremely respected in the Golden Era of the Sith, though everyone worked together at that point of time.

Bane has a point, although, I'm not sure Sidious truly never intended to have a heir. After all, he did know Anakin had the potential to surpass him and still decided to make him his apprentice. I believe he even says something like this at some point: "My apprentice will become more powerful than either of us." I might be mistaken, but I do believe he does say that.

I mean, it's not like he intended Vader to be burnt and to be so psychologically hindered that he wouldn't live up to his potential. At least I don't think so.

I think despite Palpatines later plans he still low key wanted to be succeeded. His comments on Anakin Galen and Luke all indicate that.

Bane's point got obsolete. Palpatine's rule is the best, followed by Krayt's.

To rule: Sidious' Rule of Eternal
To conquer: Krayt's Rule of One
To overthrow: Bane's Rule of Two

Don't "modern" Sith speak highly of the ancient Sith?

Bane would be jealous of Sidious' success and power.

That's true.

The only thing Bane gets credit for is that he destroyed a "corrupt" Sith organization.
