Ursula is not a poorly-written villain. She just isn't a villain. Seriously, the only bad things she did was tentacle-choke Belle and throw Hook in the ocean. That's like literally nothing compared to what Regina has done. She was redeemed quickly for a reason. All she wanted was her voice back, and for her father to not be super controlling over her. It didn't take a lot to get those two things, so she became a good guy.
