The good thing is that for most people IPv6 happens and is used transparently. They don't notice whether and how their web-browser and OS uses IPv6 or IPv4.
IPv6 certainly introduced additional complexity to networking, network routing/decision-making, and administration. But it was/is a technical necessity.
