Not all of us disliked Midnight, I liked her very much, still I agree I believe its a hybrid Goddess of Magic.
Indeed.
The former mortal Midnight is/was a small part of Mystra's divine spiritual body, like the submerged pilot of a massively greater consciousness. We have a good picture of this in some of Ed Greenwood's fiction.
I never had any issues with Midnight/Mystra, either. And like Wooly, I would list her (or Mystryl/Mystra in any of her incarnations, for that matter) among my own list of favorite deities, although the one I like the most will always be Eilistraee. (I really, really wish she returns...)

How can you be a fan of FR, and hate gods? The setting is pretty-much built around them.
I don't personally like deities being so 'in your face' as they have been, and hopefully that will be lessened come 5e.
Hopefully 5e will be a compromise where the gods will still be around to some extent, for those who like them (such as myself), but won't be so prominant, for those like you, Markustay, and Dennis.
