Interesting question. I can't explain where the dislike for the 1st-person POV is coming from. Personally, I like both POV's, in fics and original novels. I'm a bit wary about 2nd-person POV, though, because it always feels more like poetry to me, and I can't imagine reading 10+k words in that narrative mode.
I also swim in the Gundam Wing fandom. A lot of fanfics there are written in 1st-person POV where the character addresses the reader as though he's directly talking to him. It's highly enjoyable when done right. You get a better feel of a character and his thoughts and it's much more vivid. And it feels more real because we see everything through the eyes of just one character like we do in real life. :D
