Ask HN: Why is Node.js hated so much?
Java is used everywhere, I'd wager it is nowhere near hated as much as node or JS in general. PHP with all its flaws is also used on the web, much more than any other language except Javascript, it too gets less hate than JS/Node.

I don't think we hang in the same bubbles. Java (pre version 8) and PHP still get a lot of hate in my dev community.

Yes, all three get hate, but I'd wager JS gets more hate than the other two. But people put up with JS because there is no choice
Maybe it is just a personal preference then. I'd take Java and PHP over Javascript any day.
