Who's giving them any ill will? Where is this Red Hat hate?
I used to work for Novell/SUSE and even we didn't hate Red Hat. So I can't imagine who, in the Linux community, is hating Red Hat.

It tends to be sour grapes about Red Hat and derivatives being the most popular. That may change now that Ubuntu is approaching similar popularity on servers (which is the sort of Linux users I interact with). But, I also hear quite a bit of bellyaching about RPM and yum, which I can't fathom...I prefer them to apt-get/dpkg, though both are perfectly acceptable and I rarely complain about either.
But, I hear a lot of complaints about just about everything. So, maybe Red Hat just gets the biggest share because they get the biggest share of the money in the Linux distro market.
