I like them too, especially in recent years. They don't show up in every episode anymore, which is excellent. They're more mature and less clownish than they were in Hoenn and Sinnoh, not to mention much less over-the-top cartoonishly violent toward each other like they were in the original series. I miss some of their old running gags, like breaking the fourth wall, James crossdressing and Meowth's insane boss fantasies, though.
