As an artist, anyone else butthurt over the fact that the true vision of this movie will never be finished?
Yes.

Yes

Yeah, I'm sure the film would've been visually impressive and all but the story itself would still be garbage.
Williams himself said to get over it.
Honestly, no. I saw the unfinished part and was not impressed.

Always and forever.

Probably because he's tired of being reminded of it. It was supposed to be his masterpiece and after having sunk all that time and money into it he was still unable to complete it as he had envisioned.

No doubt, but it would have been such a feast for the eyes that I could easily forgive that.
Not particularly. Let me put it this way, as a piece of art it is absolutely gorgeous, I salviate over the chase scene alone and it's my go-to scene to try to show people the beauty of the animation and explain why I love animation in general however...
As a piece of entertainment, what it needs to be at its core (and I'm going by the "re-cobbled" version someone put together not the gross release it DID get) it fails spectacularly. It's very slowly paced, the design wouldn't have ever appealed to mass-audiences (so treating it as a children's film was a mistake) and the story in my opinion is a weak, unmemorable one.
It is an absolutely beautiful movie, showing the capacity and excellence 2D animation can achieve, and it was a labor of love...but that's part of the problem. Trying to make this movie into a masterpiece was part of why it suffered so hard, and if he had stepped back and said "Okay this isn't working" i think it wouldn't have gotten chopped up into what it turned into for it's release and could have instead been reworked to still fit his vision, if only he hadn't been blinded by the art. Story is more important than the art, and that is just fact when you are creating something for viewing and not for yourself, and his problem is that he tried to do the latter with something that needed to appeal to a mass audience.
I'm still going to force my fiance to sit through the recobbled version at some point with me but I can admit that it's very slow and that he likely will not pay attention to much of it because it just doesn't hold attention very well throughout the entirety of it.
It's the same problem I have with The Last Unicorn, a movie tons of people love. I just saw it this week for the first time in class and we discussed the problems with the story and one of the biggest problems was the pacing, same as this one.
A gorgeous piece and example of animation it is, but a good movie it is not.

This. He spent all his money and years of his life on it and it was taken away from him and rushed out to a hack job. I'd never want to be reminded of it again.

Actually, weren't they trying to finish the film? The script was finished and like 1/3 of the shots or something. Right?
classic gilchrist of orangecow notoriety was actually restoring this frame by frame. he streamed the process, not sure if he's still working on it. http://orangecow.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3&start=170
