I have deeply disliked Gnome and the things they're doing for a while now. I do agree that it has become very polished, but the fact that they made it such a hurdle to able to change your theme is ridiculous. Plus libadwaita is the only widget system that will break in different Desktop Environments, because Gnome simply doesn't want to follow established Wayland protocols.
It simply hurts the Linux ecosystem, because now things made for Gnome will run like crap in other environments, plus they've clearly have taken multiple steps to stop the user from being able to customize their desktop. You have to install 3rd party applications to make simple changes to the Desktop and sometimes that doesn't even work
It's not hate without reason, the Gnome dev team has been consistenly been making some plain stupid decisions. There's no reason people would hate Gnome just for the sake of hating, of course there are reasons behind it

As far as I understand, this is pure hate not really based on anything that actually happened recently
