Not that I dislike it, but many quality of life things are missing. One simple example is that a sensible way to manage which packages are automatically installed and not manually has been introduced only recently. Searching for dependencies of packages is quite complex. If you know the name of the executable/library file I’m not sure whether it is possible to retrieve the package who provides it.
Asides from that, it is the one package manager who gave me the most problems when something goes wrong. Not comparing to the problems that arise from arch all the time, but apt often has locking problems, incorrect resolution, impossibilities to upgrade certain packages and many many problems if you start introducing third party repositories.
It is quite usable, don’t get me wrong; but I never felt all this hindrance while using dnf.
