Evil is fine as long as it is played correctly. Evil is really just a tendency towards being selfish. However, the general feel is that many players play with a Stupid alignment instead of an Evil one. Many Chaotic Neutral characters also fall into the trap of Chaotic Stupid. If someone is Stupid aligned it will basically grind the campaign to a halt and one or more players/DMs will stop having fun. Part of it comes down to a miscommunication of play styles.
This other player said "Oh, youre Evil? I want to be evil too" created an OP character off of 5 fingers of Vecna, and then proceeded to start PvP with pretty much everyone in the party. Several were retconned by the DM, but others ended in the campaign ending immediately. The definition of Murder Hobo and disruptive.

This is pretty much every experience I have had with Evil characters

Yeah, it was not a pleasant experience. My character had a set mission and goal in mind (long term) but there was the possibility for redemption. It would have been literally left to the Dice Rolls to decide on whether Torm could have turned him back from the darkness, but it would have been an incredible process to get to that point. I really wanted to see that campaign through, would have been amazing character growth and story telling.
