I am reserving my personal judgement on BLU until its release, but I can understand why people are upset about it.
I have been waiting for Dancer in FFXIV since 1.0, and I am still holding out hope that it is coming as a ShB job because I want to main it. I prefer it being a healer since that is the role I enjoy most. This is just my personal wants though.
From my point of view if they had released Dancer and made it a limited job where I can't main it? I'd be pissed considering the above and how long I have waited to see it in this game since it would be locked out of almost all the content I personally enjoy doing.
Picking a job to be your main means you want to use it in almost all content....BLU being a limited job makes it so people cannot main it and I am sure there are quite a few players who wanted to main BLU.
If you enjoy anything end game be it 24 man raids, savage raids, dungeons, MSQ, trials, extremes, PVP, Eureka, PoTD/HoH, and anything else I haven't listed that BLU can't participate in normally then you are sol for this job. This is inevitably going to piss some people off, it just wasn't avoidable with how they decided to do this.
Yes, if they had done BLU in a way that wasn't true to how FF BLU is supposed to be it may have pissed off other people too, so it is a no win situation of simply not being able to please everyone and I acknowledge that part of it.
Just yeah...I feel people have the right to voice disappointment as paying customers even if I am not really hopping on the complain train myself about BLU I can at least look at it from another PoV, especially as I would have been in the same boat if they had done that to my personal highly anticipated job: Dancer.
You have to kind of put yourself into their shoes and imagine if there was a job you really were excited for and waiting for for a long time and they added it and you can't main it in all the content you enjoy. Just thinking about it from my perspective if they had done that to Dancer....sigh it would suck.
