Is it bad that Enterprise is my favourite Trek show (that isn't Star Trek: The Next Generation)?

There's quite a lot to like in Enterprise, particularly towards the end.
I really like the first three seasons of Enterprise, barring the Temporal Cold War stuff.
I honestly think a huge part of why people bounce off it is because it looks like dull, "serious" military sci-fi, with the cold spartan ship and the uniforms and such. In reality it's not tonally much different from TOS or Voyager, even in the "darker" third season, but it just looks drab as hell.

From my perspective, I didn't watch them when they were on television; I started watching Trek when it all came to Netflix. So when I got to Enterprise the first time, I had basically watched 14 years of Trek over 16 months, and by the time we get to Enterprise Season 1, it's just more of the same. I think the space for critical evaluation has helped the show get a second look by folks.
ENT is my second favorite Trek series as well, so... 
I'm currently watching Enterprise for the first time (halfway through season 2 at the moment).
Apart from the incredibly annoying theme tune credits (which I skip) I'm really enjoying it. It feels very TOS to me and I like the "pre-Federation" struggles Archer has with his budding ethics.
Other than Trek-fatigue or the hideous opening theme, I don't understand the hate.
