I personally never saw the FRS bumper as "mean". What I do see in it is a design that flowed into the rest of the car with appropriate curves and angles.
The new bumper looks exactly like what it is and that is something designed to match the rest of the Toyota line up. The angles and flow do not match the rest of the car and it appears grafted onto the front instead of being an intrinsic part of the design. If the rest of the body was changed to match the flow of the bumper then it would look far better than it does now.
All in all looks are subjective anyway so for every person that doesn't like it there could be 10 that do.
