Clients and marketing teams love Wordpress. I also enjoy it because I can ship websites fast while doing less work.

But everyone here hates it. Is this some sort of alternate reality?

I'll take a guess and say your websites don't require a deep level of customization. The hate comes when devs are asked to make wordpress work in ways wordpress wasn't built to work. And plenty of people here are devs, so I imagine they're frustrated with that.
