I never understood the hate Twin Snakes get. Can someone explain it to me?

As far as I'm concerned, TTS is the right way to play the first MGS game. Much better gameplay, and they offer you the option to play it as the original if it bugs you that much.
Personally the only bad MGS game I've ever played was Peace Walker. Complete step back from Portable Ops.
I'll give you the story, characters, and pacing. Gameplay was amazing though. To each his own.MGSV is easily worse as a Metal Gear Solid game.

The psp game, fucking hate it.
What? The Ac!d games are amazing.Metal Gear Ac!d series is probably the only conceivable answer here

I don't hate TTS but don't like it nearly as much as the original, but a lot of that comes down to stylistic reasons.... (The new translation being somewhat more stilted and literal though.) the original and the remake have a vastly different mood and aesthetic to them... And it's a lot brighter looking, too bright to be honest and at the same time lacks a lot of the color the original used... The cinematics in the original were at times also going for a sort of horror movie vibe, with Psycho Mantis' first appearence and the eerie music, or the stuff with Grey Fox killing all those soldiers. The Remake kinda dismisses that vibe and goes for straight action...
There was a time when Metal Gear had the option to become more than just silly fun though. That's why fans of the original feel let down by Twin Snakes; the anime tropes and Matrix style bullet-time moments were at odds with the gloomy, nihilistic mood of the script. It may seem odd to someone who played TTS first, but save for the Psycho Mantis sequence, the original did a brilliant job of grounding itself in reality, and sustaining an air of tension. TTS's cut-scenes offered a different kind of entertainment; they axed that carefully designed sense of pace and tension in favour of a simple adrenaline rush - much like the revised gameplay, in a sense. That's enjoyable to me in the same way the Fast and the Furious films are (and it truly is), but it wasn't what I came to respect MGS for back in '98. I hope Kojima realises this.
