I haven't noticed a lot of hate toward free diners, actually. We are saving more money with the 40% off pin, so I would think any haters would hate us more, lol?
Seriously, free dining is just one kind of discount, and it works great for a lot of families. It is no different than other discounts, in my opinion.
That's exactly how I see it. We prefer the DxDP so we get a better deal with other discounts but if free dining would work for us, we'd take it. A discount is a discount and I think the issues with Disney dining go far beyond free dining.
Again, only another discount that Disney uses. 

no one wants me aggravated on vacation. Trust me.
I also like to dine elsewhere where the free dining doesn't apply and that's just wasting the lack of discount on a room then. So nah. I prefer OOP for my meals. But for those that it works for and like it, hey, have at it!
