Do Adjustments To Core RAW Often Meet With Resistance In Your RPGing Group?

No, but my group has been a special case. First, I'm probably the most resistant to changes to the RAW in my group. If I'm recommending a change, then most go along.
On the other hand, only a couple of my players even have a firm grounding on the rules. They know enough to play, but could care less about the special cases. If they want to Bull Rush, they trust me to know the rules so they can do it. If I were to change the rules on they fly, it wouldn't affect their expectations, because they had no rules expectations.

In most of my campaigns, most of the players applauded all house rules that they perceived in their favor and whined about those that they felt hurt them. I think that is just Human nature. 'tis far easier to give than it is to take away.

Preface: I never change anything but the most minor of rules during an ongoing campaign unless it is something the game and-or the PC's have yet to ever encounter. (example: ExP amounts required to advance into levels far higher than the PC's are at) If something's broken but has already directly affected the game, internal consistency says it stays broken.
That said, many of our major rule changes over time - particularly in the early days - were player-driven. Nowadays, the major rule changes waiting in the wings for a new campaign are mostly DM tweaks (my own and others) to our at-one-time-1e-based system.

We're all experienced gamers, as well as intelligent, reasonable people. I don't think anyone in our group believes game designers know what's good for our fun better than we do. Any game's RAW is a collection of expert suggestions, not holy writ.
No problems here.
All of the folks in my game-group enjoy game tinkering ... and most core rules need some serious tweeking, in our not very humble opinion
Same with out group. Late 30's, early 40's, we've all played a dozen or more RPGs, some online games, etc. and we all like to tinker.
Everything is a toolbox to us.
