I'm a big fan of Clapton. Layla is a great song, but not sure how anyone remotely familiar with his work would say that it was the only thing he did. Has it gotten the most air play of anything he's done? Perhaps. However, he's done better songs before and after Layla. Reptile was crap, but he's done some fantastic work later in his career. Among other stuff, the entire From the Cradle album is wonderful, the two songs he did to memorialize his son's passing are both excellent tunes, etc.
And, Clapton is a technician? The guy plays with three fingers. I'm sure even Clapton wouldn't call himself a technician.

Ironically Patty did not wreck the Harrison Clapton friendship.
The only thing Clapton ever did was Layla...Tennis Anyone vs I Am Lonely (Lennon above)
Clapton is a guitar technician vs conceptionalist.
