I don't hate them. Some of them are pretty good. But I find that the worst indie games tend to be a lot worst than the worst AAA games. And though few of my favorite games are true AAA titles, I feel that an at least moderate budget/team is useful for creating a meatier game than one or two individuals can provide. Plus, a lot of indie games are 2D platformers, which is annoying for the same reason that a lot of AAA games being FPS's is annoying.
The fact that indie devs seem to have big egos compared to the AAA legends doesn't help.
Love and tolerate.
