It's outrage for the sake of outrage. I read the patch notes and the reaction to them in various places and had a general negative vibe about the game going into the season. However, then I decided it's probably best to form my own opinion by actually playing the game, which I did all weekend and... It's fine, at least from my perspective.
I specifically only made and played 1 character since launch and held out on creating a new character until the season started. So really, it just gave me an excuse to play more and try a new class. I think people who've played multiple characters into endgame content may be upset with the lack of content, but as with most games, if you invest abnormal amounts of hours into it you're going to run out of things to do at some point and as a more casual player I don't need to really worry about that.
Regarding nerfs, I'm playing a druid and did the Fallen Temple capstone last night at level 58. I feel plenty powerful. It's harder to farm 4 mystery chests in Helltides but I'm completely fine with that as mystery chests never really seemed worth it to me anyways -- I can get more legendaries from just running NM dungeons.
Overall, no, it's not that bad. If you have been having fun with the game previous to the patch you will likely continue to have fun.
