why is there so much winme hate

Because it was very unstable at launch, and it was so quickly replaced that nobody really got to experience it after it got fixed. It got Vista'd.

It's literally just Windows 98 with a few new programs and real mode DOS removed. I call it Windows 98TE for a reason.

...and it's actually usable in a VM unlike Win98 and SE

Windows ME was hated because at the launch it was known for being unstable. The reason that it was unstable back then could be: viruses, bad drivers and etc.
