Development wise had good fundations and introduced a factor that was missing through out the majority of DBZ that being adventure, searching the unknown meeting new people (besides the clothes Goku brings back after Namek destruction we never meet or see the Aliens he trained with).

In that regard DBZ was poor in content aside from Saiyans little to no characters grew or were introduced, they even ignored the portal to the demon world, justifying Dabura existence from a parallel earth.

It was a pity even GT wasn't more ambitious i guess everyone wanted more fighting instead of adventure eventhough a balance between both would be ideal in my opinion (like HxH).

Another issue about DBZ and so forth they stopped focusing how they fight to just say they are to fast and powerful to follow with that the techniques stopped being displayed or becoming a factor in matches.

In old DB that was the best part in the World Tournament several fighting styles and the capability to adapt would deam the winner.

Though i can't say why people did not like SS4 i also agree that the SS4 name wasn't really well suited even by just looking at the path of transformation to SS4 (Saiyan> Giant Ape> Super Giant Ape> SS4) or something like that i believe lol instead of (Saiyan, SS, SS2, SS3, SS4).

Leaving SS3 has the max Super Sayan possible would be suitable considering SS God seems to be developed with another power. Okay So,

honestly the SSJ4 itself wasn't hated as much the DBGT as a whole was. The Black star Dragon ball saga really pulled it down. We had to deal with annoying Kid Goku, a new annoying Pan and slightly less annoying Trunks. The action didn't really pick-up until the Baby saga (which I still think is by far the best saga of GT). The reveal of SSJ4 was actually welcome by most since we saw the return of the actual badass adult Goku. Baby Vegeta was also an awesome concept. The Shadow Dragon Saga also had good potential but it wasn't executed in the best possible way.

This is where the difference between DBZ and GT comes in. Sure Z was slightly lacking in terms of plot and character development except for saiyans but the execution of the moments in the anime was the only reason it was so successful. GT had great storyline potentials but their execution dragged them down a lot
