^Yes, Chev is right.

I don't feel that it is fair to criticize people for only knowing about/only liking Crypton VOCALOID products, since in reality probably over 70% of those people are new to the fandom.

One issue I have with OP's post in general is that it looks at the issue from a complete fandom standpoint rather than anything else. The post fails to show how if Miku and the rest of the Big 8 had never happened, VOCALOID wouldn't be the thing it is today. Heck, VOCALOID might not even still be a thing today if it weren't for them.

Now I'm not saying that Crypton VOCALOIDs are the best quality on the market, but they certainly aren't the worst, either. I think they definitely deserve their popularity, and in my opinion, I feel that all the other VOCALOIDs deserve the popularity of Crypton VOCALOIDs too, because even dating back to LEON and LOLA, the software is still a pretty amazing technology and they all really do deserve to be more known, used, and loved overall.
