All of you are unbelievable. You guys sound like bitter children putting down a honor elementary student while you all got barely passing grades.
As for Hinata, she's not my favorite female but she's not anything close to one note, boring or useless. At least she has developed from where she was and since then did her role better that I can say Sakura has. She was within expectations and never forced her character to rise above everyone else unfairly.
Sakura is guilty of those. kitten her, what makes her more prominent than any of the other rookies maybe bar shikamaru? If hinata was a Satellite love development to the main character (which isn't so bad, she has shown bigger empathy and concern to Naruto's personal human flaws more than Haring ever has), Sakura is even worse from a general narrative.
Sakura fell for a emotionally retarded nutcase who I think would fit Sakura more than any girl in the series due to her more tender treatment towards him and her ability to remind him he's human who through out the series always stood up for him and unconditionally loved him and wanted his happiness. No girl in the series has displayed that level of commitment and loyalty to Sasuke's wellbeing.
And from that, That's all Sakura amounts to, a love story that effects all aspects of her characters growth. She in all her progress as put her growth through a boy she wants to marry. Nothing she did was a sign of individual progress of her own will and cause, she has been in the back seat of Naruto's ride to save Sasuke because that's all she amounted to as a main female character in the plot.
Even her character dynamics with other females is kinda lacking compared to Naruto and Sasuke, her shallow relationship with Ino and other fellow kunoichi shown in part 2, her obvious biased tie to legendary medical ninja, chiyo who obviously was a SasuSaku side story dressed in a Akatsuki fight, and finally her ass pull summoning katsuyu which was never shown or seen before and how her master even showed her how to summon her hell we don't even see how katsuyu accepts her showing how she passes her master.
Anything major involving Sakura involves boys and love. So Sakura is anti feminist and shows a lack of equality towards stereotype roles which is why in the anime there is no Sakura centered episodes even in filler, she very static in her own focus and in a shonen No less. She acts like a childish spoiled angry abusive b*tch for no reason but attempted humor between naruto and her which in shonen is kittening one of my peeves.
She like all other stereotypes in anime always feel that they have to assault the main character and be aggressively entitled to overpower males through misunderstanding situations because that's comedy while to me it shows a lack respect for main pairings and so called couples especially in action anime because it's regulates certain gender roles as opposed to empowering them but the woman at the end of the days abuses is not an indication of strength but weakness to show her female needing to control because she's powerless and that she is still weaker than the main character or not that strong in battle against many male filled warriors who are more or less created to give the protagonist a amount of equality as a powerful role.
This is the sad reality or not only Sakura but Hinata and the other female characters, in the end the men matter more on a developed scale and they are more compelling and complex than the women as well as better fighters, better human beings, and more than what they seen on the surface. All the chick's in this series suffer from boy obsession in some fashion not just Sakura and Hinata.
But yeah the reason Hinata is more likeable than Sakura because while meek, overly feminine, and has nearly no outside development beyond Naruto is still at least nicer and more dignified than Sakura. She also loves her teacher, her family, her team, and neji and has shown absolute decisiveness to put her life on the line to save and protect them. She's pretty much the holy virgin Mary as a Chinese inspired ninja girl.
Sakura realistically speaking is more or less too realistic. Less ideal and more corrupt than compared to Hinata. She has lied, she has condescended, she has put personal desires over the greater good of people, she has been cowardly. This ironically makes her human but not interesting to me, she based on this deserves Sasuke even more, because they have plenty of flawed development and look more like anti heroes than actual heroes.
Hinata with her character and her values for the ideals that she and Naruto share is more a heroine than Sakura ever will be.
Hahaha put in your head that no female character in naruto had good development. Sakura showed major potential mainly in early shippuden but kishi completely forgot about her and degraded her back to her part 1 self
Hinata showed potential back then in part 1 when her backstory involved not only nardo but the whole traditional aspect of the Hyuuga Clan. In part 2 she was a completely one note boring character that had only one motive to live : "nardo -koon"
And then you say hinata loved not only nardo kun but also her friends, family and neji!
I say what family? The hyuugas were completely forgotten in part 2! Whos neji? Oh neji was her dear cousin, she loved him so much that after he died she could only thing of Nardo kun big strong hand!!
Hinata's role was that of a stupid pairing fodder, it wouldnt be hard to develop her but kishi chose to not do it

Persona 5 hype 
SO it's not fine vent out frustrations on Hinata but you can call Sakura a b**ch? And Hinata is an angel in comparison? Give me a break. We were saying what we don't like about Hinata's Character. You don't like Sakura? Fine, but don't act like Hinata is such a wonderful and well thought out character, cause she is not different to Sakura in the end it that is your stance. Sakura is a selfish B**ch for not caring about anyone but Sasuke, but Hinata is not (selfish) for going right back to "Naruto-kun, Naruto-kun" after her own cousin/half brother died? Sakura had horrible development? Well at least she GOT development. It was only burned to ashes at the last second. Did Hinata have any development? Did she? She is not more of heroine in a lot of fans eyes cause she never got any focus either.
Just how that role is executed in this story. 
Like I said Housewife isn't bad in itself.
