I can't say that I hate it but I don't really like iTunes. The problem for me is it is too slow, has too much features and always come out with annoying popups such as "iPad contains diagnostic information...", "A new iPhone software version... " and "Sign into the iTunes store". I quit using it as a music player some months ago: now I use mpd (music player daemon) with ncmpcpp (a client) and iTunes to only sync/backup my iPad. mpd is great for me: you control it with the client you like, it loads his music database from a directory, you make playlists and just listen.
