Aside from those who actually like the Byrne version, showing Krypton not as "just another alien planet with just plain folks on it despite the tech", but as an alien, imperfect world where emotion was dead and so Kal's life would have been wasted in their xenophobic arrogance, and where Jor-El's love for Lara would have been viewed as unnatural.
It also allowed for "Superman was born on Earth", which I just prefer.
This new take on Krypton, and Kara etc just leaves me cold...
