Everything else 
Like
Animating stuff that comes out pretty much how it was in my head
Dislike
Animating the same thing over and over again, trying to make it look how it was in my head, and failing.
Getting part way through animating something, deciding it looks terrible, giving up, coming back to it an hour later and realising it actually looks fine and I should have carried on.
And that's just today.
Like editing
HATE animating
LOVE
I love animating funny dialog and confused expressions.
liek
I like animating walk and run cycles.
disliek
I don't really like animating scenes that have more than 2 characters. Feels too time consuming.
HATE
I HATE having to redo a shot because of a bad frame that I didn't see until I played the finished animation.
EDIT: I also hate masking. bluaargh.

Uh, pretty much this. Yeah.
A great example of something that I loved animating was that series of cartoon tests I did a while back.
Stuff that I hate pretty much includes walk cycles and most-of-the-time dialog.
Love:
challenging stuff
Hate:
easy stuf that takes me a lot of time.
Love: Animating dialogue and run cycles
Hate: When i don't know how a fight scene should end, masking and walk cycles
HATE: Light flicker and trying to undo it.
LIKE : Walk cycles, and muzzle flaring.
Like: Fight scenes, masking, things that take a lot of thought to figure out how to make it work and look good, challenging techniques]
Hate: Walk Cycles, Dialog, Light Flicker]
LIKE
Walk cycles, flames
ABSOLUTLEY HATE
Moving minifigs in small areas.
Like

Same. It was terrible trying to quickly animate a New Years Eve crowd at Times Square for Thac 7.

Like: Editing and animating simple motions. Masking is okay.
Hate: Actually having a plot. Absolutely failing a animation you thought would be easy. Fight scenes are tough. You don't want to know how much time I waste making a fight scene, then play it back and seeing epicly fail.
