Hello new railfan.Welcome.I don't think it a matter of hating GE.Its just personal preference.Why does one pick Ford over Chevy,and the next Chevy over Ford? RR's who operate locomotives will generally prefer EMD over GE because EMD will respond instantly to throttle movements either up or down while GE's are very sluggish and take sometimes up 2-4 seconds to respond.Doesn't sound like much time but believe me it seems like a eternity while operating a locomotive and trying to control slack in a train.
