The dislike is the classic 'us versus them', the same basic mechanism of 'racism' and fanboism. For whatever reason, humans have a tendency to compare groups of things, often using the perceived virtues of their own group and flaws of others' as indicators of superiority and inferiority respectively.

The fact that android is competition is enough to make it a target, enough to cast it into the role of the inferior outsider. We've even seen infighting in the form of N800 vs N810, etc. Sadly no amount of arguing will sway the minds of individuals convinced that Maemo is better because <insert argument here>. To see past this, they will have to grow to a point where their views are not quite so black-and-white and then re-examine the situation from a vantage of improved clarity and decreased bias.
