@aniza you most definitely aren't alone. I've never been a fan of Mary either. Even at her kindest (which happens rarely), it would be because she owes something to someone. I've always preferred Edith too.
@khawlah Please tell me what Mary owed to Anna when she saved her from a miscarriage, or visited her in prison, or went with her to Bates' trial. Or what she owed to Barrow when she visited him in this episode. Or what she owed to Mrs Hughes when she helped her get a nice outfit for her wedding day. Or to Lavinia when she didn't spill her secrets to Matthew, or to Rose when she helped her cover for her father-in-law. And while we're on the subject, I would love for someone to enlighten me why Edith is considered the kind one when she's never seen helping anyone because her storyline always revolves completely around her. I especially can't see how she can be considered kind after the ordeal with the Drewes and what she put them through. Edith sucks and wishes she had half of Mary's moral spine. At least Mary didn't get engaged to Matthew without telling him the truth about her past indiscretions.
@Khawlah Edith did tell the consulate and thereby the public that Mary had sex with this Turkish guy and ruined her reputation by that. I don't see how that differs from Mary telling Bertie about Marigold when Edith should have done so herself.
Mary might be bitchy on many occasions, but Edith isn't kind and giving either.

Tom is right, Mary is a bully.I wish i liked her but over the seasons she became more hateful.
I may be alone in this, but i prefer Edith. She's kind and not a snob like Mary.
