Personally, I'm sure people here know I don't really like Ruby, which is sort of.... rare. I follow the "there's always something to like" thing.

I have come to like the design a little better, but her hair still confuses me. It looks like her hair is just a big mess of pink, rather than showing off a little pony at the top of the back of her head. :P  It's not that clear to me at all. So if anything, I like her design... sort of.

Her voice absolutely won my heart, like Purpled, when Problem was shown to us. I forgave the voicebank because, like others, we knew she needed more work. 1 year later and she doesn't sound that great to me. In fact, I didn't really like Hands much either. It's a good song... but I don't think it's a good RUBY song. I'm just sad because I typically LOVE powerful vocals or VOCALOIDs that perform very well in hard, fast and loud songs: like MEIKO or Lily, or flower or Ling (Ling of course, bae), and even YANHE could sing rock well at times. This is the first time that I ever disliked a powerful sounding voice and it's greatly disappointing, especially since powerful English voicebanks was something the fandom wanted for a while. That and I think she and CD sound a bit similar too... hence why I am leaning more towards Daina, out of all the native English V4s.

And as Purpled mentioned, the lack of professionalism is very offputting and I try very hard not to let that cloud my views and opinions on Ruby and think poorly of her. But even if the controversial events did not happen, I'd still feel the same. :P
