In the same way I "forgot" Agrus Kos and Razia. None of them are worth mentioning. Teysa costs only 3, but I find her abilities kind of boring and mostly revolving around tokens. Although I will admit that she is very good if built correctly.
GCO may be only 4 mana, but usually you want to play him with 1 open and even then, the deck's not backbreaking. They can be decent if built properly, but that's about the limit. You're basically playing an evasive (relatively) small body that can double as a sac outlet if needs be.
New GCO is a 5/5 attacker that drains someone for two a turn. Apart from having an altogether unimpressive body, the drain is almost completely irrelevant and he might as well have "this creature is a vanilla 5/5 if you ever want to block". He's wavering on the side of bad, and has a very similar feel.
Jor Kadeen is actually very playable in an artifact ramp into MLD shell, which not many generals allow. Additionally, he's one of the best commanders for artifact-based strategies that actually want to play colored spells. When he's built properly, he can be very good.
While you also often need artifact ramp to cast Gisela in a timely manner, she plays very differently than Jor. She's perhaps the only general that makes burn relevant in the format, and becomes a two-turn clock with any sort of Anthem effect. She can also be very good if built properly.
Aurelia, while admittedly very much revolving around the combat phase, is perhaps the best EDH general for it, going crazy with attack triggers like Sun Titan, and while not original, Battalion triggers. I could see her heading a very interesting (and good) deck.
Finally we have Brion. While perhaps not as competitive as the other three, his ability can easily become a sort of Grave Pact if you have creatures big enough. Also, if you want a life gain-based deck, he's perhaps your best guy.
In conclusion, I actually see the RW commanders as much more varied than the BW commanders, who only really benefit from Teysa. I really wanted to see something playable and interesting here, and Aurelia does that much more than Obzedat can ever hope to (at least in EDH).
There's some subtleties in how the RW commanders are built - jor needs artifacts and lots of tokens or whatever, gisela needs more ramp, etc - but they all basically revolve around combat and dealing damage. Bleh. Boring.
I guess the same is true for WB legends and sac, but I actually like WB strategies whereas RW ones don't interest me.
The other annoyance with the RW legends - and the one that can't be explained by flavor - is that they all cost a ton. R and W are both weenie colors yet all their legends are expensive as hell. BW wins massively on that score.
