I agree with your reaction. I also think it's rather unnatural to "not like" any of the tools you use in your day job. Humans are emotional beings, and so I'm going to have an emotional response when I'm forced to read a cryptic C++ compiler error. Those emotions drive me to "like" tools that give me nicer compile errors. Sure, we can exert effort to suppress emotions, but I think there are better emotions to suppress than the feeling of enjoying a nice programming language or framework.
