I think people hated Disney's handling because Disney always seemed to hate owning PR. It was like the black sheep of the Magic Kingdom, always tucked away in some corner, with Disney hoping it would die off. PR series were always poorly promoted and ignored and Disney was quite cheapskate in a lot of ways too, such as the whole Omega Ranger fiasco where they refused to hire another proper actor.

Yet, if there's one thing to be said about Disney, it's that they're probably (we don't know the exact inner-workings of either Saban or Disney) less authoritarian than Saban, giving a freer hand for producers to experiment and try different ideas. This produced RPM, which I'll be forever grateful for. I'm guessing their apathy allowed for this, while for Saban, Power Rangers is a main source of income so it's tightly reined in.

Some people hated Disney because they allowed Bruce Kalish to produce Power Rangers for 4 seasons, and they hated Kalish's work. Honestly though, Jungle Fury is WAY more tolerable than Samurai for me.
