Yup, though many of they younger people I know which got into RE through RE5 not only don't like the classic style RE games, but won't get into 4 either because it still got tank controls.

5 has tank controls too. The games are designed around it so it doesn’t bother.

It's Survival Horror with some puzzles, some action and some horror elements.

I think 4 had tank controls only, in 5 you could choose between tank controls and "modern" controls, and 6 had only "modern" controls.

RE5 just added an option to use strafe in some of the control schemes, but it's still tank controls since Up still allways moves the characters in the direction they're facing, unlike in RE6 where movement is camera-based.

This. The controls between 4 and 5 are near identical.

Technically, none of the Resident Evils are puzzles games, because if you actually get stuck on any of their puzzles, then you probably need special education. (Considering all of them either are simple trial-and-error ones or have the solution posted somewhere near the puzzle itself or where you picked up their activation items.)

I got stuck in the x-ray puzzle of RE1 for 2 hours, read a guide and found I didn't see the light switch! I mean I saw it but thought it was irrelevant! Nor did I check the x-ray film reader, because it was so close to the console that I thought they were the same checking spot.

Ha, I got the gems with no problems, but I didn't figure out the usage of red gem until it became the only unused key item(I kept trying every round item I had but ignored the gem, since it didn't look round to me).
The puzzles are fun to play only for the first time, maybe that is why some people doesn't like puzzle game.

The strangest thing is that after all these years I still like them. On speedruns, some of them even still pose a challenge, like if you mess up the jigsaw puzzle, it does cost a lot of time.

I still got through and get every item out of every room and find it enjoyable even though I know what the items are before I get them. People just enjoy stupid stuff and that's okay :D

I love the puzzles in the classic games. Had a lot of A-ha moments in them.

How so?
Revelations series is not only similar to main titles gameplay-wise, many assets and animations are also reused. You can only compare Revelations to the good ol' fixed-camera survival-horror titles on a most superficial level imo.
