Honest opinion on this touchy subject is as follows. Whatever is made of it we'll wait and see.
No, he is not a good guy. But he's not the evil guy. He isn't the guy you want to point your finger at and say "That's the bad one here". And looking through the story, does Dante seem like a good guy to you? He states himself during the events of Devil May Cry 3 he doesn't really care about the stories and stuff to do with his father. Dante was coming off like he wasn't really bothered about his family background where his own father was concerned. That's not a nice thing in any respect, but still he felt like that at the time. We're aware that Dante held love for his mother. A picture of her in his 'un-named shop' and him screaming at Trish about how she'll never be like his mother was. You can't helo but feel that behind all of those cheesy lines of Dante's, he can come off as quite an arrogant little child.
But Dante accepted his mortality, came to terms with it. Vergil however did not do so in the same essence. But both have their flaws, ultimately. They've both made wrong or false judgements. Their characteristics may differ, but they are similar more than they think. I would say in their ambitions they can both be quite stubborn. They both like to do things that seem to dignify something and give that something a purpose.
We also have to accept the fact that nobody is perfect. And in that sense, there is truly no such thing as a 'good' guy. Both of their actions are good to an extent, but are both for personal gain. It's the selfishness of their humanity that gives them that. And they know that about themselves, so to them it is no secret.
Dante and Vergil both hold honour and pride. But neither of them are truly good guys in nature. Not evil, but not good. For me Vergil upholds the same characteristics as his twin brother, but takes it up to a slightly higher level. He may not seem like he would travel miles away to a secluded Island to help you out of a pickle. But we should never judge a book by its cover. And for me, Vergil seems to be like a cover you can't always see past. Dante is a more open book you can just about browse before he closes the book when you're getting too personal.
