Same. I've often wondered why on earth the fandom makes Hermione out to be some sort of amazing catch of a partner, when...she's not. She's flawed as all hell, just like Ron is. They work mostly because some of their biggest flaws they share and it works for them.

However, the reason, I think, Ron is never good enough for Hermione; why Ron always needs to defending for being her right match? Honestly, many Hermione fans have proven to be quite nuts--as in, more than just a few bad apples spoiling the bunch nuts. Full out, projecting everything they have in them onto Hermione, nuts. They refuse to see her as anything more than a brilliant, perfect, flawless character (naggy? manipulative? stubborn? insecure? know-it-all? NEVER!), so why on earth would she settle for that...normal, clearly flawed, non-shiny or special Weasley boy?

On the flip side, Ron fans (crazy bad apples aside, because everyone's got them) tend to be far less projecting. They read the characters as written, and can appreciate a character even if he's not shiny or special--in fact, that may be a bonus. They see and understand Ron's flaws and they also see and understand Hermione's flaws, so they're capable of understanding the pairing without needing to tear another character down. They're not out there projecting all over one character and making them better than the other one.
