That article definitely makes me curious, though. I doubt they'd bring him back to life, so what's he going to do in present day? How does this work? Most of the people here are fine with whatever the writers do. Speculative. I think there are times that most can't accept what the writers dish out (coughSwanSongRetconcough).

I think a good chunk are upset over Robin's death because:

a. killing a father of two after having him assaulted in more ways than one is horrendous

b. Regina's not happy

That's generally it. It would be different if he wasn't offscreen for much of season 5. If I go with overall audience from reviewers, forums, and such. (I generally ignore other forms of social media as a good measurement as it's all over the place.)

I can't imagine him being in the present day unless he's in Ghost form. But why? If he's in a better place and Regina's slowly making peace with that, there's no reason to bring him back. Unless Sean's playing someone glamour as Robin Hood for some reason.
