I love Return of the Jedi and I agree it's ludicrous how it became trendy to bash it in the recent years. Actually it was my favourite for a very long time. Then as soon as internet took over the world and I've noticed how Empire Strikes Back was considered the best of the three (and it wasn't really the cricitism of ROTJ back then) it made me revise my stance slowly. Nowadays I tend to agree that Empire Strikes Back is the best in overall sense, but I don't enjoy ROTJ any less; the theme of evil turning good and the way it is acted and directed is still very impressive to me. This Luke vs. Darth Vader thread remained the point of the whole trilogy to me and it makes up for every bad thing the last installment has. It was clearly in the same league as Ep. IV. and V. despite the (small) flaws and not something "else" like the prequel movies. I never really liked the ewoks but they weren't even remotely as stupid as Jar-Jar was, and I could go on.

As for fans who think Return of the Jedi is no good... what are they a fan of? One movie of six? One movie of a trilogy? Or one and a half because the first is still O.K.? Is that Star Wars? It isn't. It's just one (and a half) movie that happens to be a part of a saga. I have high standards myself but these expectations is getting beyond ridicoulos.
