I'm not quite sure what you mean. Just because people still use a familiar 
sound can't be conflated into the instrument being great, and of course 
"crappy is relative." A lot of people on this list think Chamberlins suck, 
but Mellotronists still use an original Chamberlin sound most of the time. 
This entire survey is posited around personal opinion, there have been no 
criteria set for the good keyboard vs. bad keyboard determinations to begin 
with.

 
Lighten up.  I've done actual research before and defended a thesis and 
understand what that entails.  This is unofficial, unscientific, for fun, has no 
significant impact on anyone's life, and presumed that Mellotrons are likely to 
score high given the nature of this list.  I was hoping that this would result 
in some healthy exchanges to help get the new list started.  I hope the above 
is part of said healthy exchange.   Other lists would probably exclude 
Mellotrons except for a Worst Keyboards list.  Again, have fun, for God's sake!
