I didn't mind the actual mechanics of TFA lightsabre duel. What gets me about it is that Rey holds her own too easily. At this point Kylo, who is a pretty powerful force user himself, has had a lot training, both by Luke and by Snoke. Yet Rey just manages to pick up the lightsabre and go toe to toe with him.
My gripe is more with the plot than the actual battle itself though. I agree, that the fact it was emotionally driven made it pretty good in a vacuum.
Hated the overly-choreographed stuff in the TLJ. Even the choreographing in the prequels got to me at points. For example, for the most part the Maul battle is great, but there are definitely points where it looks like he might a pirouette. More just a matter of personal taste though.
