Why all the hatred for Don's charming French Canadian wife? Short version: You're just jealous.
She's more than just a pretty face.
Being married to Don Draper is the easiest job in the world — well, provided you can deal with all the infidelity. Megan could sit back and enjoy the luxuries of getting to sleep with Jon Hamm, but instead she pushes herself to keep working. And when she realizes that she's being treated unfairly as the boss's wife, she returns to her first love, acting.

She's good with the kids.
While Sally, Bobby, and Gene's mother is busy giving them complexes that will last well into adulthood, Megan is proving herself to be a pretty awesome stepmother. She's not perfect, but she's trying. This is her first time being maternal, and while she's rather young and inexperienced, she seems committed to being a positive force in these kids' lives.

She's fun.
Don may have been embarrassed when Megan serenaded him at his birthday party, but that's totally on him. She was delightful. More to the point, she brought joy and light into otherwise drab proceedings. Just as Megan has been a breath of fresh air in Don's life, she's brought something special to Mad Men as a whole. The '60s were occasionally fun, right?

She has a great sense of style.
Megan's fun personality also translates into her attire, which has brought Mad Men into the swinging '60s more than anything else. (Well, that and Don listening to a trippy Beatles song.) Betty's conservative clothes were always lovely, but there's a real joy in seeing Don walk arm-in-arm with a groovy floral print. And those earrings! Live out loud, Megan.
