I think a lot of the initial dislike for W/T shippers (at least in S4) was denial: "OMG you perverts! Willow is NOT GHEY!!! She likes BOYS!!!" When I started reading rec.arts.tv. btvs in late season 5, there were still anti-Tara threads going. Seems quaint now, but it was as nasty and bitter as the redemption wars in its day. If the Kittens hadn't packed up their board and gone home when Tara died, W/T would have a much greater net presence today.
