The problem is that those "minor issues" with the 2011 Niv to many actually render it not suitable to be used, and that those same persons would still be using the 1984 Niv!I have mentioned 5 verse I have issue with in the NIV 2011 before. The footnotes in the NIV read how I would translate. I will not throw the NIV2011 out over 5 verses. The NIV study Bible also teaches the correct translation and interpretation of the words in question. The vast majority of the NIV2011 is very well done. The NIV often gets treated as the while translation is awful. Which it is not. I find it to be a much better product than the NIV84.
The hypocrisy of the many who attack the NIV is seen in their silence or flat out promotion of the NLT. I have seen multiple, 6 to be exact, SBC pastors who have spoke ill of the NIV 2011, yet they use, promote or preach from the NLT.

And the Niv 2011 is a better translation then the Nlt, but not quite as good as the CSB, if one wanted that "mediating" type of translation!
