I'm another horrible person who likes the 2005 version better.

For me, it's mostly because the Gene Wilder version doesn't get good until they get to the factory. Then it's awesome. But the build up is just painful. Though I will give it props for the nightmare-inducing tunnel and being much more quotable, I also didn't like how Charlie broke the rules, but still won the factory. (Yes, I was a very black-and-white thinking child.)

I admit, I also like Tim Burton movies, even the horrible ones. And Freddie Highmore was the Charlie I WANTED to see in the Gene Wilder version. Genuinely good-hearted and nice. I think Johnny Depp could have handled Wonka better, but I could live with the interpretation.

Put Gene Wilder's Wonka with Freddie Highmore's Charlie, and you have my dream team. XD

Yes, seriously, I'm not the only one who feels this way. I can't stand the old Charlie at all, but Highmore is such a great choice for the role. There were a few times when I genuinely felt sorry for him, where I didn't with the other one.

What I liked out of the old version were all of the songs. I didn't care for a lot of the actors aside from Wilder. The new movie may be weird and too Tim Burton-y for most people, but I prefer most of the cast in it.

My dream movie would be the script of WWatCF, but substituting in all of the new actors minus Depp. I'm fine with Depp, but Wilder is the better Wonka.

I didn't like the fact that Charlie got away with helping himself to the fizzy lifting drinks either. And Grandpa Joe talked him into it! (Grandpa Joe is kind of a jerk in that movie in general.)
