Yea, I don't really understand why the devs decided to add something that adds very little content in return for taking away almost everything else. Can't really do the whole "realism" trope because of hats, certain creatures, etc. I also don't think many players find winter "fun" either, so likely can't do that one too.
it adds a break from the routine of farming
Removing content from the game for the sake of "adding a break from the routine" is just silly. If you want to take a break from farming, then do it. With the mechanics as is, you actually now get punished for doing so. Whether that is done via the wilting of crops during winter, or the inability to even do it in the first place, the game has now been set up as you MUST do farming all the time until winter, because come winter you can't do it at all.
In the previous system you had the freedom of choosing what you wanted to do and then could do it. What if I wanted to do farming one day and mining the next? No problem in the previous system, but with winter, that's not possible because there's a time limit for what you can and can not do. If you think "well just do your farming when its not winter", why should I let the game dictate how I spend my time playing it? It's becoming more you MUST do this, instead of, hey you CAN do this.
