While its current incarnation sounds pretty vile from a taste standpoint, if it were perfected I'd have no problem with it. I think their main problem will be economic. While all it takes to raise a cow is a field with grass and animal husbandry has been perfected over 1000's of years of agriculture, this would require a specialized facility and most likely be more expensive unless a true mass production could take place.

Another issue would be emotional. If genetically modified corn makes some people start civil disobedience, what would meat grown in a lab? My gut tells me they would be for it from the animal emotional stand point, but there is always a chance they are being intellectually honest and would oppose this as this is about as Frankenstein as a food product could get.

In an ideal world this would be cheap to produce and indistinguishable from an animal product and if it was I'd be all for it.
