Could you explain? Do you hate SP from a developer's perspective or a user's perspective? I'm really interested.

The internet.. well, not hate, but I do wonder if it's all it was cracked up to be. These days it seems to be used too much by bad guys (the minority, I hope) trying to scam us or cause problems for us, whether the end result is on the web or in real life.
There's a lot of negativity generally on the web and that too seems to be flooding into real life far too much. I think many people would be a lot happier if they stopped using the internet (me for sure although I have to for my work).

It's a little silly to hate a technology. They're just tools - pick the one that suits the task or your mood and crack on; ignore the one you 'dislike'.
I've often found that when people hate a technology it's because they don't get it or they're so deeply into an opposing technology that they don't want to get it.

This. Exactly. Especially for programming languages.

That's the problem, isn't it?

Smartphones.
A regular cell phone (preferably the size and weight of a brick to discourage people from carrying them into restaurants, cinemas and other places) was fine for making calls in emergencies or, at least, when the call was essential.
Smartphones first encouraged people to be on them all the time - even when ordering at a coffee shop or restaurant - and then encouraged people to either google everything all the time or be endlessly texting nonsense to each other.
Texting is great for the hearing impaired - which explains why people sitting next to each other in clubs, etc. text each other. The music is so loud that:
1. They cannot hear one another speaking so need to text things like "hello", "do you want a drink?" and "do you think this music needs to be a bit louder?"
2. They are all going to be hearing impaired very soon anyway so they might as well get used to texting.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Mobile Phone
I feel with computers like if I was semi god Thor, child of Zeus (is it?). But with a phone, it seems like you gave me a toy hammer.

Right now, I hate the CP abuse system, because evil-minded scumbags are using it for political reasons.
Things like that will lead to the ruination of CP. The failure of bulletin boards/newsgroups/etc. always starts with small abuses like that.

You should never work with me if you have that opinion of XML. 
But to answer your question: television, the destroyer of both the social fabric of society and the people's will and intellectual ability to do something about, well anything and everything.

Yah, I've heard your opinion on television before I wouldn't say I disagree with it, especially if we include all mass media, not only the television.

Except for web-services, I have to agree with the original post. However, I believe he should have added JavaScript to his list. VBScript was a far more sophisticated client-side scripting language than Java will ever be and was very well documented in comparison.
JavaScript has also promoted a host of redundant frameworks, which offer little in the way of benefit for using them over standard implementations while adding a lot more bloated code to the front-end...

So, in summary ...
I hate my job. I really, really hate my job. Won't someone just get me outta here. Fix the lottery! Or shoot me ... that works too!

Non-politically correct answer:
Like that which feeds my family and pays the bills or shows potential to do so.
All else is subject to hate.
