I don't understand the dislike for ETFs

That's because you are a rational person. A passive investor (eg, FT professional in another field or student) shouldn't be focused on beating the market, when 50% of fund managers can't do it themselves. All but one of the ETFs I'm in have expense ratios at 10 basis points or lower. That's laughably low.
