Doom genuinely sees himself as a good man and many of his subjects actually live very nice lives under his rule, which is odd for a dictatorship but as long as they obey him Doom actually provides people with luxuries etc.. he demands respect and adoration but he isn't a full-on tyrant, unless he feels personally wronged.

Doom also deeply loved his family and continually fights Mephisto for the soul of his mother - he's also not genocidal like Red Skull, Reverend Stryker or Cassandra Nova.

Doom's main problem is with Richards, he is willing to be civil to most others - as long as they respect his ego, so.. no.. he's not Pure Evil.. he's a dangerous dictator but not quite on the level of the truly mad super-villains.
