As much as qr towns are pretty and all I feel like it diminishes from the fun of the game. Accidentally scraping up paths, house placement issues, alignment problems...it just seems like such an easy way to induce stress on yourself. I used to have paths, but got rid of them after the update and dug up all my landscaping. I feel like letting the town be natural and carefree was the whole point of animal crossing, and I missed that. I do not regret it at all.
I think HHD helped acknowledge that Nintendo knows what people like to do with qr patterns on the ground, and it was a big step forward, but new leaf was simply not designed in terms of game mechanics for people to easily do qr related things. It's just not programmed to work with the player when it comes to that stuff.
If you can get it to work for you and you're happy, that's all that matters. But I myself do not miss the micromanaging. The series was never meant to create any kind of stress on the player, and I seeing people post and vent frustrations about pattern related things and town micromanaging makes me feel sad for them, as I feel they've forgotten that the game is just supposed to be about fun. HHD however is far more enabling and enjoyable for that kind of stuff.
