Most people are averse to change and unfortunately, many complain just for the sake of complaining. I have talked to several people who complained aboutt he new system, yet, have not even been to try it. Tehy get worked up by the masses who generally are uninformed and just dislike change. As someone who goes a great deal and has APs, we found the system to actually make touring much better. You can complain all you want about "sponteneity" but the reality is, everything you do in life is pretty much planned and planning anything always makes it easier to manage and invariably enjoy. We have not seen stand by times increase, nor have we had any issues using the FP+ system, getting fps or even getting extras later on. If you are willing to plan in advance, hit a couple of parks at rope drop, take advantage of EMHs, the new system actually makes touring much more enjoyable and less stressful. But, regardless, there are those who complain just to complain. I am yet to talk to anyone who has actually been and is a vet of WDW, used the new system, and doesnt think it is an improvement. Most of the people complaining either arent people who go more than once every few years or people who have not even been at all.
Disney is changing a lot of things at DLR. They just premiered a new parade and fireworks. A few years ago they completely changed things up in DCA. I loved all of it.
If I was just someone who disliked change, don't you think I would have disliked those things? Yet I loved everything about the DCA expansion and am quite excited to get back this year to see the new entertainment.
I personally find the "people just dislike change" argument an easy way to dismiss people you don't agree with.
I hope you understand that someone with an AP who gets a lot of access to the parks is likely to have a different perspective on this than someone who travels across the country for an occasional visit. If you miss something, you can just catch it on your next trip. For the person who won't be back for a year or two, having to choose between TSMM and RSR is a different matter.
