The Wikipedia article is very helpful and goes into some depth. The dislike is rooted in the old dissenters’ canard that “hierarchy bad, community good”.

It is the bureaucratic organ that exercises the Pope’s direct authority. If there were no Curia, the Pope could not do his job.

That, I think, is unfairly simplistic. Even the traditionalists want curial reform.
