Well, one of the reasons that I think a lot of people hate her for is that she gives a bad name to fanfiction writers. People talk about her being a plagiarist and her books a rip-off of Harry Potter and the response is "Yeah, so? Isn't that what fanfiction is?" And the answer is no, because she didn't just take ideas and setting, she ripped of actual prose from other writers. All the witty saying and quotes that people loved in her fanfiction weren't hers. And then she turns into a big bully on the internet and never apologizes for anything. It makes good fans look bad but she gets money for it.

But wasn't the plagiarized stuff part of stories which later got yanked, and her published work is serial-numbers-rubbed-off different stories?

There's pieces of it in the Mortal Instruments. Jace has a lot of similarities to Draco from her Draco Trilogy.

But her fanfic Draco also has practically nothing in common with canon Draco, so you can't really say Jace is a ripoff of HP Draco.

The Draco Trilogy was the actual plagiarized stuff. So, the problem isn't that she's ripping off HP Draco; it's that she's potentially still ripping off the person she originally plagiarized.
