Purely anecdotal: I worked at an Apple VAR when the TiBook was released, but I honestly can't remember any real controversy. They were a big hit. Quite easy to repair too. I wasn't there for the plastic Intel MacBooks, but the biggest complaint I remember hearing about was that the black one collected fingerprints like crazy and, later on, some overheating issues. They were also a pain to repair, though not as bad as the iBooks before them.

> They were also a pain to repair At least RAM and hard drive were very easy to replace, which I appreciated. I don't think I ever needed to actually open my MacBook back then. But I do remember repairing white iBooks, which was a pain indeed.

The real pain with the (well at least the earlier) plastic Macbooks (especially along with their short support life) is the 32bit EFI, and some even had 32bit-only Intel CPUs.
