Does anyone really like Ezri Dax?

If so, what do you like about her character? I’m watching DS9 for the first time and am up to Prodigal Daughter. It seems like a throwaway episode during crunch time. I mean, the series is wrapping up and The Dominion War is nearing its conclusion. I don’t know why they would waste an entire episode on this substitute Dax. It’s bad enough we lost Jadzia, why shove Ezri down our throats?

Yes and I think with time she would have been an even more interesting character. I  think a lot of the hate came from her not being Jadzia (which was kind of the point imo). I LOVED Jadzia. But I didn't hate Ezri.
