I don't care if it's animated in 2d or 3d, I just want it to look good. And cgi doesn't automatically make the anime look bad.

What usually makes an anime look bad is obvious cgi used in an otherwise 2d anime. Not always though, Fate/Zero's Berserker is an example of obvious cgi that looked good.

I don't really mind full cgi anime. I'm loving the current Kamierabi, for example. But they look off to me for the first half or full episode before I get used to it. Even Houseki no Kuni was like that. There are of course bad looking full cgi anime, but in general they don't look worse than 2d anime to me.

I also don't mind cgi backgrounds in 2d anime. Dekiru Neko looked amazing and the backgrounds definitely contributed to that, not the opposite.
