I think the polarised opinions are mostly down to a pilot's confidence in their abilities. For some, (myself included) there's enough confidence in our abilities to think "yes, I can stick what is essentially a small aircraft into a large field". I would not belittle those who think (or even know) they can't do it, but personally I'd have kept flying it.
