Why so much hate for the "New" Nintendo 3ds???

Because it's anti consumer. Nothing wrong with a revision, great even, but making it play games the previous versions can not is a middle finger to your supporters.

So GBC was middle fingering you ?

Ah good times when I bought my GBC  with Wario Land 3, that my  friends couldn't run on their gameboys. 

DSi was pretty useless despite having a few exclusives, so people probably didn't mind much. But this isn't new and it is a smart move. 
Besides, it's not aimed at everyone, casual won't give a fuck about it, and most games will still be made for standard 3DS. But having core games requiring more power makes sense, yeah you need to invest again on the console to play a remake(as for now it's the only game exclusive we have revealed I think.) that doesn't feel right, gamers who've been told they've been missing a great game on Wii might go for this, and "harcore"(I really don't dig that term) games might find their more easily with an upgraded CPU...it is true the CPU is struggling on some current games. 

I would have actually love that they upgrade the GPU...Xeno doesn't look that great, it just..."runs".

I don't understand how people could defend such a move? I get supporting a company you love, but not when they intend to outright rob you! How would you feel if all 3 did this?

All handhelds get revisions, generally at least 3 per hardware cycle. Even the Sony ones. Like seriously enough with the faux outrage. 

I could've told you that a 3DSi + 3DSi XL was coming out this year (which is basically what this is) months ago.
