Not your screen monkey (he/him)
I wasn't in favor of it when they introduced it in SWSE, nor in 4e. Part of the problem I had with it was it torpedoed the hero point system that D&D was evolving/borrowing from d20 Star Wars in which you could roll one or more 1d6 to get a value to add to a d20 roll to use in a clutch. You could use it to boost an important attack, skill check, or saving throw. I also didn't like the idea of scoring a critical hit with an area attack.
And I still prefer saves now. I think it works well with abilities, whether racial or class-based, that allow a player to control their own die rolls on the defensive rather than just on the offense.
