Why do people despise this plane so much?

It went overbudget and has been delayed, yes, but now that we actually have some specifics on its performance it looks fantastic.

I see F-22 fanboys talking about muh agility and speed and how the F-35 got smoked in dogfighting trials, but with stealth, advanced radar, and long range missiles the f-35 never even needs to enter a dogfight. Dogfights themselves are completely outdated tactics that were invented in world war I and haven't been used in real combat for decades.
