Geniuses recognize geniuses.
In a serious note, many great Japanese directors aside form Oshii and Kitano do praise Hayao. Some of my favorites like Anno, Kunihiko Ikuhara and Watanabe Shinchiro mentioned Hayao as an inspiring figure or as a person they'd love to work with.
To me, his works rarely click with me. I've watched lots of his works when I was a kid through my teenage years, nothing impressed me aside from Future Boy Conan and Grave of the Fireflies.
