I think that people did condemn Paige a bit severely but she shouldn't have tried to drown Emily, no matter how upset she was with herself. The drowning incident is not the reason I dislike Paige though.

First, Emily and Samara were offering her support and were willing to stand by her, but she was really rude to both of the.

Second, Emily was visibly upset about Maya in 2x21 and Paige seemed to think that it was her place to try and kiss Emily. If she truly respected her she would been the supportive friend Emily needed.

Third, she kept being ignorant about Emily's feelings after Emily hurt her shoulder. She was desperate for Emily to swim again when Emily knew she couldn't. She wasn't respecting Emily's feelings when Emily was having to deal with the fact that she can't swim competitively and her dreams were over.

Lastly, she told the police about Alison after Emily had asked her not to. Emily put all her trust in Paige and Paige betrayed that. Sure Alison was a bitch to her, but she didn't stop to think about how that must've been for Alison, being on her own for two years. Emily has good reason not to trust her after that.

I know the other main love interests (Alison included) have all done bad things, but those are just my thoughts on Paige.
