It becomes "hate" when the criticism is ill-informed and largely irrelevant. The bits of PHP that are "much worse" are mostly either legacy cruft that nobody in their right mind uses anymore, or bits are rarely touched in day to day programming but are safely wrapped in frameworks, ORM's, libraries etcetera.
Beyond that, PHP simply isn't particularly elegant (mostly since it was never really designed to be a programming language), and we all know it.
Other than that, I rarely see any relevant criticism, let alone constructive criticism.
