I can certainly see why some people see Kyoani as something of a savior when it comes to the VA scene, but I guess it's a good thing that other studios are starting to pick up the slack in this area as well, but (again) oh boy I guess we'll always have Deen won't we?
I'm always torn here... on one hand, I consider KyoAni's Air a huge leap forward compared to much of what was out at the time. But at the same time, I'm an EF fanboy who somewhat resents how KyoAni's work overshadowed so many good VN (and VN influenced) works in the 2007-2008 period.

EF's visuals might be an acquired taste, but it sure as heck looked great:
