I don't think everyone is rabidly against it. In languages without static types, it's pretty useful. I definitely prefer it when it's used to give information that is not already in the type. Like in C, char * szName says that the variable will refer to a null terminated string -- that's not implicit in char* -- of course, a typedef would also help.
Joel had a great article on using hungarian to tell if a variable was HTML encoded or not:

Anyway, I tend to dislike Hungarian when it's used to impart information I already know.
