Oh really?
Because I've probably hauled 4000 tons of beer and wine in large ships since the patch.
Am I weird for not liking the big ships?

To love big ships, you need to love Turrets.
2x C3 Beam turrets and 2x C2 Multi-cannons turrets plus 2x point defense on the top of my Anaconda put on quite a light show.
Plus the top deck weapons will fire forever with the A8 Distributor.
I have to use the gimballed C3 Beam + gimballed C4 Multi-cannon on the bottom to actually drain the Power distributor.

And booze? xD
The occasional load of hard stuff too
Bring a load to Founders World.
We'll drink it while sitting on the foredeck of our big ships
Imagine you have an empty hardpoint leading upwards and you would just put in some chairs, a table and a parasol. That'd be awesome
With the ships now in game, I won't go to higher class than my Clipper. And I rebought my ASP shortly after selling it. The sound, the view! Some day an iCourier and a DBX will add to the fleet.
And you know what, I really liked the strange sound of the Hauler, or was it the Adder? As if it was alive in a weird way. Sounded like some of the old droids from StarWars.
(In RL I prefer bigger cars.)

If you can get some engineer upgrades, it will sing. It's a great ship that was in a bad place for a while, as upgrades are applied it increasingly approaches pre-nerf. It's great.
It is good for combat and raiding too, unless
someone gets on your tail while shields are down and you decide to pitch turn.
Don't get me wrong it takes and packs a punch, but the protection of internals is abysmal.
The shape does no good to the ship when you are outmaneuvered.

I wanna fly my very own Farragut

Same here, but Farragut isn't bulky and tanky enough.
I like both smaller and big ships. Anaconda is a great ship for trading, Vulture is a nice combat ship, Python is a really nice multipurpose ship and Cobra is, well, Cobra.
But there is one thing which I do not like, when I am sitting in big ship. It is hard to describe, but somehow, the illusion of piloting a big ship doesn't feel right. Anaconda, Clipper and bigger ships simply should not be a "one man" ships. Maybe it is just that I saw way too many episodes of Star Trek or Babylon 5 and similar, but ship so big as Anaconds should have a bridge and crew.

ditto. horses for courses.
there was a phase i went through where i'd try to use a Vulture for *everything* with varying levels of success, but now i have purpose-built ships for each of the jobs i want to do. Cobra, Vulture, Asp, Python, Anaconda, Cutter - they all get used frequently
I love huge ships with VA and turrets, you're a captain or commander, rather than pilot. But still less fun than boosting around asteroids at 520m/s in an iCourier!
I have a Vulture, Asp Explorer and Python, yup I spend more time with the first two, only use the Python now for trade loops because it has 200T cargo space, I won't use it for combat, too sluggish.
What the what?
I like small and mediums so I can keep the rebuy low and currently own a Vulture for combat, FDS for mining/trade and an Eagle that is sitting in LHS 3447 that I haven't even tried yet. I have a long term goal of owning a T9 one day, yeah I know its not a great ship but I love the looks of it, and I want it as a main ship for mining and surface mining one day.
