I think part of the problem with Maeglin was isolation. I mean, he spent the whole first part of his life with no other elf contact except his mother and father. He couldn't really relate to people.
Kind of playing devil's advocate here, but all in all, Maeglin was probably the closest thing to a truly evil elf.
