I hate it. I've mowed grass since I was 12. I hate it.
I have about 1 acre that requires mowing. It would cost about $1800-2k/yr to have it mowed. When I acquire a property, I start morphing the landscaping to low maintenance. No trimming, rough natural areas, turf grasses, etc. That helps reduce time requirements a lot; probably by 50%. Last year, I bought a very fast, zero-turn mower with a wide mower deck. I like the speed and zero-turn aspects a lot. It's almost fun but at least it's not boring. I've modified the landscaping to accommodate this style of mower so that the yard can be done in the least amount of time. Currently, I average about 80 minutes once every 10 days from May-October. Tolerable.
I'd replace it with bots in a heartbeat EXCEPT Debbie says that I'd end up spending more time maintaining the bots.
