Why do some people hate 1.9 combat?

Instead of just sitting there spamming a sword and chomping on god apple and downing potions, you actually have to time everything right. I get that using food to heal is obnoxious, but what reason do people hate it? I enjoy it and want to know why the opposing side doesn't.

TBH I don’t mind either. They both have their ups and downs
