Pretty much this.
I started liking Mayer before he hit big, so I have a kind of nostalgic attachment to his earlier music. I'm not as active of a follower as I was years ago but I still get his new albums and enjoy them. And a major pro to Mayer is that he does write his own stuff, he sings it, he plays guitar and in the current music landscape, those things aren't given. And personally, I think he does it pretty well.
I also tend to always like when mainstream artists cover Fleetwood Mac and do well with it, like he does in this video. If anything, it's John shouting out to his own influences and I like that.
