I guess he would be next on my list also but I do find some of his chamber works very attractive.
The other composers I'm hot and cold on are Elgar and Britten although I would not go so far as to label them Marmite because some of their works are awe inspiring. But then others are unappealing to me, particularly some (not all) of the Britten operas.

Follow Ups:
I always chalked his reputation up to British chauvinism, but actually, he's probably a good candidate too (for being overrated). The very first opera I ever did as a rehearsal pianist was "Albert Herring" - I still hate it to this day. SO lame! ;-)
And I've got a fair amount of his stuff, 'cause my wife loves Pears.
Almost as much as Britten did! =:-0
