No, anon. The mistakes contained in KD are severe.
It uses a completely unnecessary and broken order for teaching you kanji (yes, radicals are important, but you should still try to prioritize the important ones), it uses its own arbitrary way of ranking "usefulness" of words and kanji, he skips up like 400 kanji because he thinks they're not common (which is also completely arbitrary and highly depends on what you're doing with your japanese), he has stupid tags like that "fucked roots" stuff, and so it goes.

I put a lot of effort into learning japanese, and I actually learned kanji using KD (although by writing them down instead of using mnemonics), and this is my conclusion: it has too many problems, go for Heisig. As much as I agree with you that one should find their own journey, there are certain methods you should definitively not use, such as Rosetta Stone and Kanji Damage. And it's nice that you passed N2, but I wouldn't use it as an accomplishment or any sort of way of proving KD's usefulness with it.
Also, you should stop making baseless assumptions just because someone criticized your method of studying. People have opinions, you know.
