Sorry but a large part of it is down to timing.
Many people had trouble with Windows ME, so when XP finally hit the market people embraced it and overlooked the flaws that it had.
Personally I had more trouble when first switching to Windows XP than I did with ME, such as XP's hatred of USB modems (something that didn't work correctly until XP service pack 1 came out).
Vista is certainly a good operating system that is of course not without its flaws (such as the god awful Explorer User Interface) but with Windows 7, Microsoft aren't going to make the same mistake they did with the time between XP and Vista.
