I don't think history will look back on Episode 7 as favorably as they do now -- at least not Star Wars fans. The plot takes far too much from Episode 4 and other films in the original trilogy, the logic is questionable in places (landing on a planet at light speed) and a lot felt cut out or rushed (sneaking through Starkiller base, Captain Pharma's entire role).
Ultimately I can now understand a lot of the criticisms Trekkies had with JJ Abrams Star Trek films even though I loved them. You're a lot more willing to overlook tiny flaws and inconsistencies when you don't go into the theater a die hard fan of the franchise and are just looking for a good movie.
As for Episode 6, It may be the weakest of the original trilogy, but it's still one of my favorite films.

All TFA really needed to be was competent and give us good characters. It succeeded everywhere the prequels failed. I'm expecting a bit more from Episode VIII. It needs to step a bit more out of the shadow of its predecessors than TFA did.

my anxieties were gone from the first sentence of the opening crawl

It really depends on the next two films. If they next two films are good because of the set up of TFA, then TFA will cement itself above ROTJ. If the next film is bad, the flaws of TFA will be accentuated.
For my money, TFA was better than ROTJ in every regard with the exception of the final conflict. Luke v. Vadar v. Emperor was vastly superior to Rey v. Kylo. Of course, ROTJ has the benefit of building that climax over three films.
