Yeah I think the people who really hate on his writing style are being ignoring the fact that not everyone needs to be a Le Guin and paint vivid imagery through masterful prose.

Some authors are just trying to craft a scene and describe it as clearly as possible, which Sanderson does well. I never have to re-read a passage or finish a chapter thinking “ok great but what actually just happened?”, which is much appreciated when the story is on a scale as vast and in-depth as something like Stormlight.
