Hilo or the airport? I assume the latter because if you moved here and found Hilo wasn't to your liking then that's on you. Of all the airports I've visited, Hilo is the easiest and most comfortable to use. Check-in is fast as long as you don't have a confused family in front of you (e-boarding is available if you want to avoid a physical check-in). You don't have to walk a mile or two to your gate, the general lounge area is the nicest I've seen anywhere in the world, and boarding is reasonably easy compared to other airports.
I don't know what it is that causes some people to rail against the airport. We're lucky to have such a place. I know you complain about everything and anything, but Hilo airport is the least of my worries when I fly.
