I think people hate wii fit because it epitomizes Nintendos strategy of targeting the casual market while leaving the hardcore out in the cold. Some people think that it isn't a game and Nintendo is a games company and they in a way selling out by shunning traditional games and embracing new ways to milk the casual market.
I personally have no beef with wii fit and although I'm not exactly fat I do want it. Maybe I should get fat first and then I can justify my purchase...

The last sport I played was Kickball back in 4th grade. If I played Wii Fit, an ambulance better be on stand by. (BTW-I only weigh 125lbs, but Wii Fit loox hella fun).

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CASUAL GAMING!
Casual games are a derogatory title given to games that target people who stopped playing video games just before the FPS revolution in the mid 90's.
Nintendo uses the idea that if we get ahold of people with the games they used to play, then they will slowly introduce them to the higher teir games (i.e. FPS, RPG, RTS). So nintendos focus atm is on low teir games like Non-Fiction games (i.e wii sports, wii fit), moving into platformers, puzzle platformers and adventure games.
Nintendo is not shunning the 'hardcore' market there trying to introduce old gamers to 'hardcore' games.
Wii Fit is just a step along the way!
And yes I own a Wii, and im only talking about nintendo games, third party developers falsely target these 'casual gamers' and use thier 4th or 5th string dev teams to create it. So you end up with shit.

I like Wii Fit. Who cares what anybody thinks. If you like it, cool. If not, that's cool too.But ultimately the choice to buy it is yours. I bought it and my kids and I have a blast on it. That's all I could ask from it and Nintendo.
Because it costs £70 for a weighing scale.
And of all the other peripherals, it will be the one that every developer wants to include, then realise people don't want to stand for the 20+ hours it takes to play and FPS or RPG.
If it had a decent line of applications (getting fit is not a game, in my mind), it might be worth it, at the American price of £45 (give or take). But no more.
