As a reader (since the 80's) who's been enjoying the DoX books...I am fully engaged. I am fully entertained. I feel for these characters and I remain fully invested in the stories HCo. is bringing to the table...because they are NOT the same types of stories/characters I became familiar (and eventually bored) with from decades of complacent, stale and rehashed storytelling. I am being forced to see these characters in a different light and I'm very happy with that.
(Not) Taking those 'differences' I listed into account...the general arguments, against this new status-quo in general and HiX-Man specifically, I've read throughout these threads since HoX/PoX started, come down to two basics and obviously personal truths (in lieu of: "The story is crap. The writing is bad. The art is trash")
1: These are not My X-Men/the X-Men I know/The (insert single character here) I love.
2: These are not the kinds of stories involving My X-Men, I want to read.
Some readers just cannot come to terms with those truths or with the idea that they have to now alter their personal visions of these stories and characters.
And when looked at from that perspective, the fault(s) does not lie with the creatives.
