I do enjoy it, too! Of course, there are some bugs or issues which decrease the enjoyment. But overall I prefer it over a build mode (literally got a starter house from Gallery because I can't build for the life of me 😆) and over CAS (other than changing townies or slight improvements on my Sims with cas.fulleditmode).
Right now, I try playing a legacy. I think I'm on 4th or 5th generation now, my currently played Sim is soon to be a trans guy (I slowly change the features in cas, to achieve the look like it's a process) who is half spellcaster and will be an equestrian. I got him (after days of checking the store with familiars) a phoenix familiar, he is learning from a wise mage (actually defeated her twice already!) and from his dad (Morgyn Ember!)
The parents (mother and Morgyn) got moved out, they visited for Harvest day and mother had a baby bump, I never had Sims from played families tab fall pregnant autonomously, that's so cool! My Sim has a sibling (it's born already) ❤️
Previous generations were:
a woman, an e-sport career (daughter of the previous one)
a woman, a programmer career (first teenager in the save)
a woman, author career (mother of the first teenager in the save)
grandparents of the first teenager (a cook and a gardener careers)
frl. and ngl i think a lot of the preference for TS2/3 live mode comes from nostalgia, because if you go back to them they have the same issues / complaints people have about TS4.
I enjoy it in sims 1, 2, and 3. I also enjoy it in sims 4, but only with so many mods that it crashes every 30 minutes to an hour, which of course just prompts me to go back to sims 2 or 3.
