@Anon - Principally two reasons (although there are many reasons to hate a font).

Firstly, the aesthetic - some fonts are just ill-formed & ugly - this can particularly be the case with fonts designed with the screen in mind rather than print.

Secondly, ubiquity - when a font is used more often that it deserves, and in lieu of other more meritable fonts, it does irk me so.
