Well, that's fair enough, I think. The book being adapted from is a fundamentally different order of thing from the Hobbit to Lord of the Rings, and I'd say more likely to be improved by adaptation. Hobbit isn't as good as Lord of the Rings -> adaptation is more successful.

(not an insult to The Hobbit, either, it's a really enjoyable book that I like a lot)

As a fellow book purist I pretty much agree with this. The Hobbit is a much better candidate for Jackson's style of adaptation than LotR was; it's not surprising that he's made a movie from it that even a LotR book purist likes better.

I bet I'd like it better myself, if only Jackson hadn't insisted on incorporating material from the LotR appendices of the kind that suffers badly from the Jackson treatment.

This.

The Hobbit was written for a different audience and far less philosophically complicated than The Lord of the Rings.

Peter Jackson loves working with Hollywood stereotypes. The brooding hero with a tragic past, comic relief, etc. In case of the Hobbit, it adds a layer of characterisation; in case of, say, Aragorn or Gimli, it takes away from it.
