I would suggest for you who do not like "with" is to figure out ways to
avoid using it yourselves, but leave it alone for those of us who find
it useful.

Yes, of course. But it's just so much easier to use "with" which does
the same in the background and save you from adding local variables
yourself.
With is only "easier" to use from the writers viewpoint. For an reader
it's much harder to figure out what's going on, and code is more often
read than written.
When something has to be changed later, it's often recommended to
remove the With first, before trying to change anything else.
When something changed in the related data types, then it's not clear
why the code fails now, because it's impossible to reconstruct the
*previous* meaning (without reverting everything to an earlier state).
IMO there exist only very few situations, where With is both safe to
use and easy to read.
