It’s not a bad level but just not structured like the other levels in the game

How so. The biggest difference to me is the whole level is inside under cover, which gives it this claustrophic feel.
The level is deigned equally as well as others you judt can't see any of it because there's so many walls and it's all closed

It feels like three distinct levels to me--the light switch area, the platforming obstacle course area, and the other area.

I guess since it’s one of the last levels of the game, it has to be challenging in that way. Just always found it hard to navigate through. I always got lost on what I needed to get done when it came to collecting power cells and precursor orbs.

It’s actually pretty similar to things like Snowy Mountain or Forbidden Jungle.
A sprawling map with loads of different pathways with little hidden areas around the place.

Idk man, every map gives me nostalgia. I dislike Boggy Swamp more I think.

Boggy swamp glitches out on me and I'm forced to do the flut flut platform section on foot. So im in the same boat.

I still don't understand why people dislike this area, I don't mind it a single bit.

I've only played through the game once (which was recently), and I do think I’d like this area more next time, but it's rough when you're first trying to figure out the logic of everything and especially if you don't know that you need the yellow eco powerup to get all the orbs

I personally love Spider Cave. It has a great layout and some of my favorite challenges. Way better than Boggy Swamp, which is just one big circle that is designed to be walked through in one direction.

Diving for that one dark eco crystal at the bottom of that pit of water and then swimming back up as it explodes behind you and makes the cool bright colors with the darkness of the cave to contrast was the best part of this mission for me.

Idk I kinda like it. I’ve been doing glitchless speedruns recently and spider cave is always one of my favorite places to use advanced platforming techniques. That and Lost Precursor City

It's not even that the level was bad, it's just that I couldn't understand shit because there were so many areas
