@ Anon: Honestly, I felt somewhat similar when I first heard DAINA, up until the point where the finalized VB sample usage was introduced into the mix. But having purchased her now, after having worked with her first-hand and figuring out work-arounds to the issues I found grating from the get-go, I actually find myself enjoying using her bank and finding decent ways to use her in my own personal works.

And after having worked with English V4 VOCALOIDs for the past year now (well... just CYBER DIVA up until a couple of months ago), I actually find Ruby to be the main one out of the four V4 native Engloids that easily gives me the results I'm looking for in less editing time (in order after that, DEX, DAINA, CYBER DIVA). Just like most would believe every VOCALOID is supposed to do, I find she responds very well to any level of edits catered specifically to her bank. Considering there are VBs out there that seem like they're almost made to require a heavy level of time-consuming edits just to make understandable and sound pleasing (just like Angel stated above about SONiKA), that's something I'm pretty sure anyone would welcome wholeheartedly as a VOCALOID user.

In short, what I'm saying is while I can respect your opinion on not being keen on a certain type of singing style or voice type, I surely disagree with your first statement of "not being a good VOCALOID" purely for the reason you stated. One's vocal preference does NOT equate to a VOCALOID's actual quality. It certainly will affect how much you enjoy or dislike hearing a certain VOCALOID in use, but (while it does also play a somewhat important factor in the end result) you can't really get a true gauge on how well it actually works just on the sound alone, especially if it's sound quality that has a possibility of being smoothed over with proper mixing and editing...
