I like the actual Vocaloid software. It's pretty good stuff and I find it pretty useful as a musician since it's hard to find even half decent vocalists in my area (and I'm not a great singer). It also gives me the freedom to choose between different voices, languages and whether or not I want a male or female singer. In short, it gives me complete creative control over my own songs.
The thing that Vocaloid has become in multimeda though? I'm not really fond of it.
Vocaloid seems to have become more popular for merchandise and Hatsune Miku rather than the software it originally was. I know a lot of people don't actually know that it's even supposed to BE voice synthesizing software and just see it as a bunch of well designed characters. I can sort of deal with that though, since I do enjoy the merch, but it's always bugged me as one of those things of "why are people buying merch for software they've never actually used?", though I guess that's down to the design of the characters (well, Hatsune Miku)
The thing that annoys me the most though is that if somebody uses Vocaloid in their music, the song then gets called "a Hatsune Miku song" (or whatever Vocaloid was used). This just really annoys me since it's largely taking credit away from the original writer of the song and giving it to a character that doesn't even exist.
People should give acknowledgement that they've used vocaloid in their songs, but they should also get full credit under whatever artist name they desire, rather than a hologram getting all the fame for it. (though they can give credit to a cartoon if they desire, I guess)

Eh, I'm mixed with Vocaloid.
I'm not fond of the way music using Vocaloid is often credited to that Vocaloid more than the actual artist that composed it, (I mean do people really think 'Miku' wrote those songs?). This sort of puts me off Vocaloid a lot.
Though for a good song using it (imo, obviously):
I use it as an actual piece of software though, it's pretty darn handy if I want something doing that I either can't do myself or would be too much effort to get somebody else to do, which almost always translates to "I want female vocals here but can't be bothered finding a real female".
Sonika or Luka are the two I tend to use the most, with Luka probably being used slightly more. I just like their 'voices' and their range, as well as them being very few of the 'English speaking' Vocaloid.
Visually, I would go with Luka or Miku. They're just have a 'unique' and memorable design, though I dislike Miku otherwise. Her general 'vocal range' is a joke compared to most of the others and I the sound of her voice is only useful for a few styles of music.

I dislike vocaloid voices now, when I was younger I liked it but now I rather just listen to nico users, ohgod some of them are dreamy +_+
there are some songs I don't mind but I prefer human singers over them
Akikane,Clear, Ask, Wotamin, Valshe
Clear and ask on god there voices cause me to melt >//<
Zebra is a nice rapper :3

Miku's voice is pretty horrid.
The only two songs I can stand her voice in are Tho and Fox's Wedding. The rest are bleh.
It's true that Vocaloids are hit or miss. Sometimes they sound nice, other times they sound really robotic. xD

im not really vocaloid fan, but i really like the songs echo by gumi & im sorry im sorry by miku ^.^
I really don't know why they gave their main mascot (Miku) such a horrible voice and limited range. You would think they would give their mascot the best treatment by far :/
A lot of the time it depends on the person who is 'producing' the vocaloid. Put enough time and effort into it and you can make them sound pretty organic. Though the general 'robotic' sound of them makes them sound great with any EDM type music by default :3
