As someone who seems to be given the "Ultimate UTAU Hater" over here I've heard some impressive banks over the years, namely from the VOCARAN videos where the voices sound like they could of come from the Vocaloid engine. Even so the engine noise still puts me off investing in the software as a whole, as even some of the well made banks seem to hit engine noise pretty badly if put in ranges not suited for the voice.

I could sum up UTAU as a whole as being an engine where you put in so much effort and the rewards in 9/10 cases are not worth it, not even just in using outer programs to fix quality issues but the interface itself i've found to be too clunky and overall un-appealing. Is it a good alternative to illegal Vocaloid? Yes but at the same time I can't blame people for being put off with UTAU.
