I do respect you opinion, but.... WHAT?! You like Steve better than Jim, Kermit's creator?! Haha. Just kidding, dude. I like them both in different ways, but I will always have a soft spot for Jim's.
I believe you would want to say "Puppeteer", or "Muppeteer", not voice actor.

I commend Steve for carrying the torch, but Jim Henson will always be Kermit for me.

I was just kidding. Jim's was a little more mellow than Steve's. I respect your opinion.

This is kind of a loaded question and while I definitely have to say I like Jim Henson because that's the Kermit I grew up on I can't really say I don't like Steve either. They both bring something different to Kermit. I think one tends to do things better then the other but I try not to compare too much because their both two different performers who have their own style. But all in all Jim's Kermit will always have a special place in my heart and he will always be Kermit to me and that's something
Steve for me personally won't ever be able to touch.
However I fully accepted Steve as Kermit a long time ago and think he is doing a bang up job of carrying the torch. Heck he made me cry like a baby in The Muppets so he's gotta be doing something right.
