Okay so regardless of your opinion of her usefulness, I think we can agree with after my explanation things could be worse.

Sakura has two real skills (min) Medical, and Big Punch.

Now we all know how insanely devastating those Big Punches are, and we also know how they never hit anything besides terrain features, however consider this: Healer types are the first to be targeted for obvious reasons, now what do you do to make thing less squishy? Make them tanks or dps as well i.e make them dangerous to approach.

Even if she never hits anyone or adds to the kill count, she has turned from a vulnerable target in need of saving every 4 panels to someone you still don't want to close to you, everyone goes defensive around her, which really is what you want. Hide the squishy in plain sight, and buy time until back up shows up. Her skill set achieves this at the very least.

Besides her Big Punch what different (Known/Realistically teachable) Jutsu would make her less of a target and more productive?

well she's useless

Again like those above you, the argument isn't if she is useful. Nor and I saying she is or isn't. I am merely saying if she didn't have some sort of over the top means of keeping people back she would be more of a target, and less useful than she is.

A little joke , Sakura is the heroine:

Sakura holds Sasuke's left hand and Naruto's right hand.

She is going to be the vessel of the mix of Sasuke/Naruto chakras , Indra/Ashura.

Sakura shippuden of the six paths , here is her power up:

Chakra control lets her do her medical and punchy powerz (I don't feel like being technical), its not a jutsu on its own. Plus she just started summoning. I would argue about Guy Kakashi and Obito being relevant, I understand what your saying.

However both your comment and the one you are quoting do not answer or touch on what I wrote.

The punch was mean to intimidate enemies whilst she heals.

Sakura skill set is less than what it suppose to be.Blame kishi for his lack of development of her character and all of the k11 not name Naruto or Sasuke...By logic, Sakura at this point should have mastered at minimum, three chakra natures and genjutsu as well.Her initial defining trait was high intelligence yet both Sasuke and Naruto have more jutsus than her and have mastered two and one element.This makes absolutely no sense when she is the smartest of the three and has the most advanced chakra control.That speaks to how kishi thinks of character that aren't Naruto/Sasuke.Another character he refused to develop is Neji.Neji was a genuis of a higher degree than Sasuke, yet he died never showing anything but Hyuga Clan techniques.That makes no sense when we know every intelligent shinobi in NV all shrived to achieved more.If Sasuke could take on S-Rank shinobis like deidara and even kill a kage in Danzo, Neji should at least been Kage level at the beginning of part 2...If only kishi would have let Oda developed his non-boy love side characters in NV.

She's pretty beast and she's still developing. She hasnt even learned her nature transformation. She's got alot of upside. I dont understand why people be hating so hard. At some point in the manga their favorite character has gotten a beat down so why the Sakura hate?

As usual, people don't understand the importance of a Healer...

But good point, a healer and tank is really something.

She could be even greater of kishi give her a long-range healing
Like her being far away but able to heal Naruto and Sasuke, that would be pretty badass and new.
