Why so much hate for him?
Not so much hate for him as hate for how his website has de-evolved. Early on, it was much like Slashdot or HN. When he started introducing features that benefited power-users, your chances of getting your own stories dropped to 0 while the front page was filled with Cracked-like "top-10" lists.
They also have a whitelist of domains that can show up on the front page which turns digg into an rss feed of those sites and the occasional Reddit story that a poweruser feels like copying.
