I enjoyed the extended characterization of scenery. To me that was part of the flavor of dystopian cyberpunk. I can see where someone might be disappointed by slow pacing but I savored it.
The content itself is part of the foundation of the genre. Charlie Stross and Vernor Vinge might not have succeeded with some of their more radical texts if this book (and others) hadn't laid some groundwork. That makes some details in Neuromancer seem simple to any reader already steeped in the genre.
