Actually the organic webshooters came during Avengers Disassembled (in a story that had NOTHING to do with that shit sandwich story but was slapped with the logo for a cheap sales boost). Also, it was Paul Jenkins who wrote the story in question, not JMS, though the story had links to the infamous "magic spider bite" plotline JMS kept shilling in the main book, much to the horror of fans.
And reaction to the move to organic webbing was met with blah than actual hate, due to the way that Marvel underplayed the change with how they did it. IE tossing it into Paul Jenkin's book which by that point was a zombie cash grab book where nothing important happened and where Jenkins was forced to do any and all movie tie-in stories that Marvel was mandating so that JMS could do whatever he want with zero movie synergy stuff interrupting his work, especially since outside a Doc Octopus and Green Goblin via flashback story, JMS was largely disdainful of Peter's rogue gallery and barely touched them/used them in favor of his totem OCs, Loki, Doctor Doom, Dr Strange villains, and more OCs galore.
