Yeah, it's fine. But that's all it is. Fine. Dull. Beige. "Adequate". Perfect if you don't care about never fitting in (I tried. Really damn hard), or having decent bars, or good (beyond average) cuisine...
But I can honestly say that it's no mystery to me why most expats (from other Western countries) hate it here...
Did your friends go up North? Because I believe that's where most of the more exciting, "authentic" experiences are to be found.
Stockholm is just meh. Overpriced, over-competitive meh.
Guy, you know that the Sweden that you are defending is dying, right? That the demographics of the Swedish population have an end date for Swedish culture?
Whatever you like or don't like about Sweden will end in your lifetime. The people or leaders (it doesn't really matter which) invited in a literal army of invaders to out-breed and out-vote the Swedish people. Their days are very definitely numbered unless they literally pick up arms to fight off the "immigrants", which they won't. They would literally rather die. To my mind that is a glaring flaw in the national character.
So it may look adequate. But it isn't. It is dying day by day. Go and visit it before it is gone so you can tell your grandkids what it was like.
I mean it sounds perfectly fine

No they were in Stockholm, but they also visited other areas.
Adequate sounds perfectly good tbh, considering the rest of the entire earth. I don't know why that should constitute feelings of hate

Visit London while you are at it.
