I'm not sure why there's been so much hate against Jak lately. Personally I can not see one way in which R&C is the better series. Jak III may have been a linear experience, but character, plot, gameplay depth, level design, technical design, musical score, all these thing Jak has always done better then R&C. Technically, it's not really a matter of opinion. When it comes to things like story, character, enemy design and level design, I'd love to hear an arguement contrary to my view, because I can't understand the appeal of the R&C series.
