Red Rover is likely more popular for his proliferation of fics rather than the sheer quality of them. It used to be he had a handful of new lemons every update, and he did a number of pairings which were not always the most common, either in their execution or their content, or both. His writing was never "excellent" in my mind, and I may have been one of the more critical of his writings, although he did have somewhat of a knack for working out long and complicated storylines, and actually bringing them to completion. Something I've always had some trouble with.
However it's true that much of the sex in his longer series is very gratuitous, and that many chapters could have done better without it.
In all, I'd agree with Circeus -- he's not the greatest author ever. What he is, however, is one of the more prolific ones here (at least during his time here) and good for a quick jerk.
Also: Red Rover is a bit self-conscious about his spelling errors as I recall. He does try, but he makes mistakes, and he was often so quick to publish that he never had the chance to fix them.
