He treated Joe like dirt in the episode WereGururumon showed up, believing that the guy most frightened by the world they're stuck in and one of the most vocal about getting out is sabotaging their chances of leaving the diner they're stuck working in because he's more afraid of the guy in charge than of the idea of leaving. Joe gets scared, sure, but he isn't that kind of guy. A real friend would know that without treating him like shit.

He agrees along with everyone else to return to the Digital World to fight the Dark Masters in the first place, no one forced him too (besides the tractor beam in the sky, anyway), but when T.K. gets kidnapped he acts like this was all Tai's idea and that it's his fault T.K.'s in trouble, calling it "his war" and such nonsense. No one else acts out this way but the "Child of Friendship". When T.K. escapes on his own, he runs away feeling like shit and comes back trying to hurt Tai because a pedo-tree told him too.

Others may hate Matt because of the whole Sora "chose" him stuff from Season 2, but I got over that ages ago when I heard how the original Japanese dub barely had any hint of Tai liking Sora to begin with.

I don't like him because he's an ass, one undeserving of the crest he represents. Tai's brave to a stupid point, Sora's all caring, Izzy's smarter then everyone (a cheap crest to give, but accurate), Joe's reliable, T.K. is a little kid so naturally see the brighter side of most things, and Mimi always speaks her mind. Matt is a wannabe loner who acts cooler than he is. Tai's not perfect or my favorite (that would be Izzy), but he at least acts like his attribute. Matt's a punk.

Gabumon's cool though, which is the one of the few things good about Matt, and it barely has anything to do with him.
