Ctrl Alt Del was one of the first webcomics I found and it's been consistently good enough to stay in my Bookmarks where other comics have been removed over the years. Not every strip is a winner but plenty make me laugh. It's funny enough for me to stick around and that's the key deciding factor for to me.
Sure, the writing of the plot arcs can leave a lot to be desired at times. I don't object to a comic strip suddenly throwing a serious story at its readers - Bill Watterson managed it successfully but Tim Buckley didn't do so well in the execution. Still, I care about the characters and love Ethan in particular.
Is it the best webcomic out there? Not at all. Is it deserving of its huge hatedom? From my viewpoint, that's also a no.
Good but not great
