I actually posted a thread on this a while ago, asking the same thing, mostly because I got criticized for enjoying dub more.

Anyways.
I much prefer dub. I still watch subbed anime, mostly with anime that's still airing.
I like how I'm 2 of 44 people that enjoy dub more... super minority.I'm one of those people that read pretty slowly so when there's two lines of text across my screen, with a subtitle on the top (informing us of something), I usually have to stop / go back to read it. Most subs don't result in this, but I'd rather hear than read on the anime, any day. That's why 'I' prefer dub. Needless to say, I read slower than the average person likely does.
Some people watch sub, then watch the dub and go 'that doesn't suit x-character' at all, when it's just a matter of two different people trying to portray the same character. If you watch a dub, then go to sub, are people gonna say the same thing? No, because the anime's the original.
People everywhere say "no, that dub is terrible" when said people just plain hate dub for no reason - other than "because it's English dub".

Kids aged under 10, slow readers, old people (least count) tend to listening more than reading, that's why we still need dubs on Anime
Pretty much. I'd be super sad if things stopped being dubbed.

Dubs have, for the most part, gotten better since the 90s/early 2000s (unless you're, say, an NIS game), and sometimes something makes better background noise as a native English speaker if you're watching it in English.
Lols, yeah, I've noticed that with NIS too, sadly.
