I don't know that Austen did "dislike" them. Rather she was a satirist and found humor, sacrasm and irony in many things and wrote about them in her novels. It is possible to see these elements and not "dislike" the subject. There is indeed much to laugh about, poke fun at, and point out the inconsistencies in Gothic Romance... but we still love it.
Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey is a parody of "Gothic" novels in general, and in particular "The Mysteries of Udolpho" by Ann Radcliffe.
There ar no gothic characters in Emma, maybe you are thinking of Northanger Abbey??
Yes, definitely. Northanger Abbey is full of allusion to gothic novels, satirizes their scenery, their characters, and the plots. It is explicitly related to The Mysteries of Udolpho, by Ann Radclyffe.
Mostly Romantic novels; one of them ("Northhanger Abbey") is also a Gothic novel parody.
Gothic tradgedy usually features women being heartbroken or killed by men, thus tragic romances often are similar, especially when set in the 1800's. An example of this would be Jane Eyre.

It was one of her first works, so she was trying different styles. On the other hand, Gothic novels are central to the book's plot, that is why this type of literature is quoted frequently. I do not think Austen appreciated it: it must have had too much exaggeration, too much feeling and drama for a woman of her principles and taste (so she indirectly ironised both her heroine and her beloved Gothic literature).
