By this question I do not mean the old debate on the plays being written by a variety of lords or Francis Bacon, people who actually demonstrated little writing ability or in Bacon's case a completely different style of writing. People of course can answer according to the above, but a more sustained debate concerns collaboration with other playwrights, including Marlow. Does that affect Shakespeare's standing if true?

Whoever wrote them, they still wonderful plays with their rich humanistic themes.

Yes. Modern commentators are no doubt that Shakespeare wrote the plays but some parts were left to others. The iconic plays are likely to be all his but the ones on the War of the Roses were probably a shared effort.
