A. She was controlled.
I didn't like the fact that she was controlled. I thought the whole plot point was ridiculous. Resident Evil has moved away from scary atmospheric tense survival horror to soap-opera non-scary action with matrix stunts. First, it was biological things that were controlling things, but Jill has this electronic device on her chest that controls her? And Jill is doing all of these manuevers that we have never seen her do before? It makes her character look worse.

C. They changed her appearance (long blonde hair, awful suits (both of them))
I already explained this. There's not much more I can explain on this. The long blonde hair did not appeal to me, at all. Her uniforms were awful. I simply didn't like the way her appearance was portrayed in the game.

E. What is with the fighting style? This is not the Matrix, this is Resident Evil.
Self-explanatory, I would think. Yes, there was a little bit in RECV, but as I said, that was from Wesker, and I didn't mind it so much because he was the only one that did those stunts, and he was the main villain. Now they're making Jill do it, and it just makes her character look pathetic too.
The only reason Capcom put Jill in RE5 was fan service. It was to help sell the game, appeal to fans, and take a character that had a good story line in the old-style Resident Evil games, and now put her in an action game just for the sake of having her in the game.

D. She was in the game, period.
Right. I didn't like the fact that she was in the game. I personally felt that after RE3, she shouldn't show up in any more RE games. She survived the horror twice, and in RE3, she said that this would be "her last escape." They should have just left her story alone. I didn't mind that she appeared in that new Umbrella Chronicles scenario because in RE1 and RE3, she was trying to escape a city infested with zombies. In Umbrella Chronicles, she was joining Chris to take down Umbrella once and for all, so that was something she chose to do. She was no longer trying to escape something. She was trying to put an end to an evil corporation. So anything after the Umbrella incident, they should have left Jill's character alone. But what do they do? They taint her character by putting her in an action game, have her be controlled, and have her do crazy stunts. And the story of RE5 could have went just fine without Jill being in there. It was ridiculous.
