The fun Derpy was that she was a nice little wink at the fandom. Something few shows actually do. Taking her away is the equivalent of saying the fans do not matter. That a few voices(those upset at her original appearance) were more important than the collective fandom. I fell in love with this show relatively late(after Derpy was given her cross-eyed look on purpose). That was a major reason I watched. Because it honestly felt like the creators and writers had as much throwing these in-jokes in as we did finding them. Now it feels like we've seen behind the curtain, and it turns out it was just another Hasbro show designed to milk some toy-money out of us. It won't feel fun, it will feel sad. Like watching a TV try to continue after one of the cast members died suddenly. Derpy Hooves was a cast member, and a funny one at that.
