I’ve really never understood all the Wesley hate. Most of the “annoying” scenes he was in were annoying because of how the adults treated him, not how he was acting.
Maybe having multiple people (one being his own mother) yell at a kid to “shut up” when he’s trying to warn them about danger isn’t the best way to cultivate a well adjusted personality. Despite being variously ignored, gaslit, and verbally abused by adults in season 1, he turns out to be a decent guy anyway.
A lot of it stemmed from poor writing where the flagship of the Federation, staffed by the best and brightest Starfleet has to offer, routinely needed the help of a 15 yr old

Because he was even brighter. How do you not understand that?
