I don't think people are ever going to see her for what she's worth. It's frustrating, because at least the people here can recognize when Hinata has had some positive development for her character. Whenever Sakura gets it, the rest of the world finds ways to dismiss or criticize it.
She fought Sasori. But Chiyo had to help her.
She's Tsunade's number one pupil. All she ever does is heal.
She activated Hyakugo, which Shizune couldn't do, (and she's has been with Tsunade since Dan died.) It took her three years, and it's totally unoriginal.
She's finally standing back-to-back with Naruto and Sasuke. She regressed because she said Sasuke's name.
Should I gather up all of the panels where Hinata says "Naruto-kun" for them? Oh, I forgot. When Hinata does it, it's super ka-wa-ii.
Exactly. They're unbelievably critical of her character. How does saying a person's name with a smile mean anything and what proves how ridiculously bad their "points" are is how easily it's countered.
Them: Sakura would of been dead with Chiyo.
Us: Same case with Chiyo. She'd be dead without Sakura. Sakura was her key puppet in a lot of the fight given she was easily destroying the puppets. She took down the Kazekage puppet on her own, Saved her life twice, and she's the reason Chiyo was even able to use her damn unusable arm in the last leg of the battle since the Iron Sand had lost its effects. 
Them: She's Tsunade's one pupil. All she ever does is heal.
Us: She's a medic before anything else, but that doesn't mean she's incapable of kicking butt. Look at her in the recent chapter. A medic that took down dozens of Ten tailed clones, AND she was vital in the battle against Sasori. She took down a summoned creature with one attack and Zetsu with extreme ease. She's obviously more than a healer, and she's proving that even now standing next to her team.
She activated the Hyakugo and it's unoriginal: At least this jutsu is something that can't be copied by the sharingan, and what's more is that it's different from Tsunade's seal. Anyway, doesn't matter if it's unoriginal or original considering there're a lot of jutsu that aren't completely original to the user. Rasengan, Chidori, shadow clone jutsu, amaterasu, susanoo... What does one say abou those? Hell, Sakura's closer to having a more original jutsu than anyone else considering only two people know how to use the seal, and her superhuman strength is also in the same boat.
Not even gonna comment on the last one. Anyone who feels she regressed by saying his name is obviously in need of some help. And what's more is that people made stuff up. Some claimed she thanked Sasuke and ignored Naruto.
They're obviously reading the secret version of Naruto that we NS/Sakura fans can't see.
They're way too critical of Sakura in the long run.
EDIT:
I also find it hilarious how antis either read way too much into a scene or not enough. Perfect examples are this chapter, and then another example is Sakura's confession.
They took Naruto's word their and said screw everything else completely ignoring the whole reason for her actions and how she basically chose Naruto over Sasuke. Regardless of if she could kill Sasuke or not, that doesn't change anything.
Then in this chapter which required no real reading got read way too much anymore.
1. Sakura's fangirling over Sasuke
2. Sakura's ignoring Naruto
3. Sakura's a kitten for choosing Sasuke over Naruto.
4. Sakura wants to become hokage now. WTF?!
5. Sakura isn't on the same level as Naruto and Sasuke. Cocky kitten!
