While nobody thinks it’s great it gives everyone something. Probably just enough to end Brexit debates going forward and put a line under it. Remaining, extensions or leaving with no deal will keep the issue rumbling on for years.
Being “stuck in the backstop” keeps us in the customs union without paying into the EU which bizarrely is the best of both worlds if we accept that favourable the trade deals are unlikely.

That Mr Gove has been ear worming you.
TBH, I'm not against May's deal. It's a compromise deal, as all deals are.
It's a start and moves us on.
We are still a sovereign nation, if something happens further along by the EU that is abhorrent to us, we can still cut ties if we need to.
I think the sticking point for many is the money, with no guarantee of what the future relationship will be.
You have to use the word you don't like, and take a leap of faith.
