I don't think anyone in this thread legitimately hates VI, it's a great game and anyone who says otherwise is obviously baiting.

That being said the game isn't perfect, the Magicite system is fucked and it wasn't play tested very well before launch. A lot of people here about VI from fans, who are bitter because the crowd of annoying teenagers and normalfags that the PS1 games drew in drown out any other opinion than "VII AND VII ARE THE BEST, CLOUD X AERITH, SQUALL IS SEXY!" That can lead to anyone getting bitter and resentful, so often VI fans build VI up to be the be-all, end-all of JRPGs, which ruins the experience for new people who are judging everything that happens in it. Then they say it wasn't that good, and they are right sometimes, a lot of people who post here barely take the time to find any of the extra story bits or pay attention to the game and say that the characters are bland and stupid, but they have been let down so hard they come off as outright hating it.

I love VI to death, and will defend it if I see someone post something about the game that is clearly wrong, but it isn't perfect. Besides, everyone has their own tastes and opinions, you can't expect everyone to agree with one thing.
