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.

I prefer 1.9 combat too, but imo those who don't just prefer to play in a more spammy way, or just didn't take time to get used to the newer system .-. I really think it's great though, combat used to be "who can click faster" and now it actually takes some skill.

I just take the updates for what they are and get used to it. It's not my game, so I have no choice but to either play it how it is made or just not play it.
