Yes, that's true, my mixed feelings come exactly from the fact that it's one of those art movements that's really hard to pin down aesthetically, and that's because it embraces a wide range of medias (ie poetry, film, sculpture, music etc), but with various degrees of vision that differ from artist to artist. There doesn't seem to be a truly unified concept behind it, therefore it makes it more difficult to judge it.
