Makhno was actually relatively good. There were plenty of much shittier anarchist and anarchist-adjacent leaders, whom no one likes to remember.
IIRC wasn't one of the big problems with Makhno the inconsistent control over the territory and discipline among armed forces leading to various element committing pogroms on their own initiative?
This was absolutely everyone's problem during the Civil War. Makhno, at least, made a serious effort to combat it, like Bolsheviks.
Edit: except the Whites, who I don't think viewed it as a problem.
Some White generals also viewed it as a problem, not because they cared about Jews, but because their troops were pillaging instead of following orders, and all the loot made them not very mobile. They didn't do anything about it in the end.
