As someone who used SF in the early 2000s, I can kind of understand the hate (but don't support it). I remember daily offline CVS servers (yeah, I'm that old), unusable slow mailing lists (delays of several days per mail) and the awfully complicated and slow interface. I still can't believe how much slower it even got when SSL was activated. And the interface is still awful, as is the one of Launchpad BTW. Still, it was the only open source hosting back then. Many projects were hosted on university servers or even Geocities with no VCS access. Clearly, without SF Open Source wouldn't be what it is today. That said, please host your projects on GitHub or Bitbucket in this century. Thank you. ;)
