Actually, I was planning on writing a bit about the Crafoord prize soon, but not exactly an outburst, since I think Witten and Kontsevich richly deserve it. It's a prize for mathematics, and those two have done great mathematics, some of it inspired by working on string theory. String theory has actually had a very positive effect on mathematics, and the Witten-Kontsevich stuff is just one part of that story. Of course it has been a disaster for physics, but that's a different story...
