In the game code he appears as an abomination, perks/achievements towards damaging/killing them procs on killing him.
Also, it absolutely depends on you, how do you see the situation. He preserved Vegas - and his power. He helped the local triber to rise to power as Casino Families - with his control. He wants to stop the NCR and also the Legion: to preserve his power. He would be the happiest if Vegas would freeze in time similarly to Sierra Madre (without the toxic fumes and sh*t like that, ofc) but think about it: it is a good action to preserve a community against anything harm, if it also prevents them for moving forward, getting better?
TLDR: Choices, choices, choices. Nobody's black nor white in Fallout NV. That's the beauty of the game and makes it's RPG content worthy to the old Fallout games :)

Born on June 25, 2020 (261 years old) to a wealthy Nevada tool magnate, Robert Edwin House was orphaned at an early age when his parents died in a freak accident involving an auto gyro and a lightning strike. Cheated of his inheritance by his half-brother, Anthony, he nevertheless attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and later went on to found RobCo Industries in his hometown of Las Vegas at the age of just 22. It would soon become one of the most profitable corporations in the world, owing mostly to House's considerable technical genius and business acumen. He used the wealth and power to gain controlling interests in a myriad of other businesses. These included REPCONN Aerospace, the Lucky 38 Hotel & Casino on Las Vegas Boulevard, and perhaps, most personally, the H&H Tool Company - the family business usurped by his greedy half-brother (although curiously, the factory on the outskirts of Vegas was still under his brother's control in 2077).
A staunch pragmatist by nature, Mr. House would regularly design and run mathematical paradigms based on global political and socio-economic conditions in an effort to predict future events. By 2065, these projections led him to the inexorable conclusion that the world would be engulfed in a nuclear war within fifteen years. Worse still, his contacts within the military informed him that seventy-seven Chinese warheads were aimed at his beloved Las Vegas. Armed with this knowledge and his projections, House went to work on a secret plan to ensure the city would survive this apocalypse and that he would live to see the world after the war. He programmed multiple mainframes with satellite links meant to disable the vast majority of the Chinese missiles while in flight, then designed an array of high powered laser cannons, which he had installed on the roof of the Lucky 38, to deal with any missile his program had missed. To preserve himself, he took equally drastic steps: his body was permanently connected to an extremely sophisticated life support device named a "hibernation chamber" [1]to take care of his physiological needs, while his brain was wired directly into his vast information network via an enormous supercomputer. Essentially, he became a one-of-a-kind humanoid brain bot, with the Lucky 38 and an army of securitrons serving as his "body". As you can see from the upper text he somewhat protected Vegas from Chinese missiles so i would call him kinda good altough his real motives are not that good i think :)

And i read somewhere that if the courier delivered the platinum chip to him in time , large portion of Mojave would not be destroyed possibly reffering to "The Divide".He basically predicted the bombs would fall 10 years before it happened and this is how he managed to save Vegas

Well if you look at the circumstances he's probably the best you can get. However saying he's "good" isn't the best term, today he wouldn't be considered good. I'd say he's "slightly better than the rest".
I'm more of a "Wild card" guy, I don't like being told what to do. (after a nuclear war exterminating almost the entire human race we can see where it leads)
