Interesting question! It seems like the "1st person is horrible" thing that I heard about was when I joined fandom, so I thought too that maybe it was a fanfic thing. I tend to avoid writing 1st person POV myself maybe because of this, but when I do read other fiction it really depends on how it's done. I guess long story short is that any POV can be done in an amazingly wonderful way ("Call me Ishmael" comes to mind re: 1st person POV) but I have to be sold on it.
