No ones hatin' on KEI, its just KEI's artwork was never that great to begin with yet its held on a pedestal above several other illustrators for vocaloid often. For example, even though his version of Zola doesn't particular stand out other as anything special, some held his version above the others because it was KEI.

KEI isn't the greatest artist out there, and while he did designed Miku, a lot of the factor in Miku's popularity as luck and chance and it just happens that KEI ended up heading the vocaloid that made this software where it is. We could argue another artist may not have had the same response to the artwork, but if the circumstances were the same any artist who had headed Miku could have potentially gotten the same spot as KEI. :-/

Still, his worst illustration was the Kagamine's Act1, so its not like Miku is the real complaint here... Despite the unnaturally painful shoulder pose he did far worst with Rin and Len.
