I would say no. Though I do personally hate BF myself.

To me it seems clear that a lot of people dislike the Swamp because BF does a terrible job of preparing players for it. BF teaches new players that it is safe to ignore half their mechanics and sets up the expectation that the rest of the game is going to be similarly forgiving and relaxing.

The first time I hit swamp, I quickly realised Black Forest was just a really long tutorial biome in a game that already had a tutorial biome.
