It's not quite as strong as 'everybody else loathes' them, but within the Zelda cannon Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are definitively treated like unwanted stepchildren.
Mostly because of 'gimmicky touch screen controlls' being 'forced onto the player' as well as the 'childish WW art style'.
And I just love them. Love everything about them. I didn't play then right when they came out though (partly because edgy 16-year old me much preferred the Art style of the Oracle games to the 'childish WW art style' ;P), but came at them a few years later, with an open mind and was blown away by how much fun they are.
