All this isn't free, and when you see that it took three years for a new season (or whatever you wish to call this) for Haruhi, and that some other franchises are still waiting for their own follow-up (say hello to my avatar), I can understand that each episode wasted is painfully felt for fans. It's an episode that will not be spent into a good story...

I agree, it seems a waste more than anything. More nicely animated episodes of a series isn't a bad thing (even if it's the same one over and over...) However, the resources blown reanimating the same episode repeatedly could have been used to polish future episodes.
As it stands, Endless Eight has delayed more substantial content from being aired, and the wastefullness of its creation will be cited if any future Haruhi episodes are poorly produced or simply never animated at all.
Only
if and
when Haruhi series is completed animated without a noticable lapse in quality will Endless Eight lose it's stigma (and maybe be appreciated as 'extra episodes'). However, that's a pretty big
if and a pretty distant
when.
Fortunately, I'm neither a novel reader nor a Haruhi fanatic, so I can bear to wait with mild disappointment until some worthwhile Haruhi is animated. However, I am a fanatic of other things and fully understand the white hot murderous rage felt when your favorite story is being butchered before your eyes.
