Everybody has their own reasons for not liking wings/spoilers. I personally would like to have a spoiler on my car...but not some aluminum wing that's a foot taller than the car. The only wings I like for my 04 coupe are the stock one, or maybe the Kaminari wing, with a lip kit to go with it.
My guess why people aren't liking the wings anymore is too many ricers add wings, no matter what model or size, and put them on their cars. Even if its a nice wing, they probably have some way to make it look bad, so people tend to associate those wings with the ugliness of the ricer's car.

Because people tend to go for the "smoother" look, not a shopping cart handle on their trunk...

People never liked them because they are pointless on FWD cars except for looks, and basically they look ugly because the wings are huge and never match the lines of the car.
usually metal wings are cheap and look like shopping cart handles. And these cars usually have big mufflers and pitiful horsepower. So people don't like ricers, and most ricers have wings. So people are sick of dumb people with wings.

I have yet to see a car in person with a functional aftermarket wing. Its always some poor guy in a $500 integra with a $100 wing and a $50 muffler. Poor quality all around.
