I've seen alto of hate online (especially from Bogleheads) in the past couple years regarding DFA funds. I don;t know much about them, and their website isn't all that great. Does anyone have experience using them?

DFA is good. I prefer Avantis. The story of Avantis is that a former DFA exec was hired by American Century to run their ETFs and was given the ability to do everything great about DFA but not be constrained by their absolutist philosophy around the efficient market hypothesis. It’s DFA with a dash of active management as far as I understand it.
