Agree, FWIW. Even as someone rapidly approaching middle age, TOS is just too clunky and dated for me to get into it, I guess. The reboot...I feel like it was a bad adaptation of TOS, but not at all bad on its own terms. And yeah, reboot Kirk and Spock had good chemistry IMO.

I do kind of feel like I understand where the TOS fans are coming from, though, because as a huge X-Files fan who thought Mulder and Scully had great chemistry, I can DEFINITELY see the industry making a reboot at some point, and totally failing to capture the staid, cerebral, meeting-of-the-minds dynamic I loved so much about M & S, and then people who were babies when the show ended saying how much cooler the new M & S are, and how they have so much more chemistry, because the new versions are way more overtly sexy and the chemistry between them is actively spotlighted by the narrative or whatever.

Basically I feel like, if you get TOS then you get it, and I respect that. But also, it is in fact okay to just shrug and say, "Maybe if I'd been there, I'd get it, but I wasn't there and present me doesn't get it."
