For me its not hatred, but rather I didn't like the storytelling of her character. I really liked her in series one, but just didn't like how Doc10 became 'wedded' to Rose so much that it elevated Rose to more than a companion, almost negating the existence of other companions. Especially subsequent ones.
Martha was a relief for me. I know the unrequited love for the Doctor bugged some people, but I didn't mind it because it meant the Doctor was back to being the Time Lord, rather than some companion obsessed lad from Laandaan.
So for me, its not so much disliking Rose, but rather how the relationship with Doc10 was written.
Who knows, maybe Moffat will take Amy in a similar way, though I don't get the feeling Matt Smith's Doctor will be acting like a love sick puppy once she leaves.
