Here's something else to consider: People who don't have fun on their character probably aren't going to be very efficient or caring. I'll take a ranger that has fun over an enchanter who wants to commit suicide and does nothing

So would I. I'd take anyone over someone that's not at least reasonably efficient. That's outside the scope of rangers though and isn't really a defense of the class.
On a neutral level, there isn't extra fun added to the group by putting a ranger in. Can you play and have fun with a ranger in the group? Naturally. If your buddy is a ranger and you like grouping with him, by all means bring him along.
Presumably though, you can have fun playing with all sorts of different people, such as all your non ranger friends as well. Thus when there's a few people around that a person is neutral on (the players themselves, not the class), there's no real incentive to take a ranger.
It isn't as though all rangers instantly make great social groupmates you love having around, while all the people that get invited instead are the scum of the earth that you can't stand but are grouping with to get slightly more exp.
It's a design flaw by the creators, they should have given rangers more. But they didn't.
