Hate is a strong word, especially without elaboration but I hear you.
For me, I actually liked the concept of Terraform initially - an API wrapper essentially and was an improvement on Ansible etc.
HCL (not great) and multiple state management (desired, actual, true) made me start to question it.

The amount of time spent implementing, maintaining and testing Terraform ultimately turned me off of it for good. That cost is particularly massive when you consider who you're employing to do that work.

Ended up with OpenTofu. 😔 Super basic setup but already hit multiple issues and messed up the state once.

Every time someone at work starts talking about it I start ranting about all the issues you can run into.
But it’s a lot easier to manage an AWS organization than the other options
