I'd say give Season 4 a chance. It's no skin off your back to watch one or two more episodes to see if you like where the writers are going with Alicorn Twilight, it'll only be 20-40 minutes of your life. It's especially worth holding off opinon on since the season four premiere is a two-parter that directly follows Magical Mystery Cure.

Until then don't throw away your toys and try poking around the fandom a bit, especially the fanfiction. Pick a background character you like or even a character you hate to see if you might enjoy alternate interpretations of them. Season 3 gave me so little of my favorite pony, Rarity, and seemed to really play her up for comedic effect, which means (like with Rainbow Dash and her bragging) they played up her vanity to the detriment of her character at times. So I got my complex Rarity fix reading wonderful fics from Cold in Gardez on FIM Fiction.net and PonyDora Prancypant's epic Flight of the Alicorn. Sometimes coming up with your own fanon interpretation or adopting one from fellow bronies can help you come to better like a certain aspect of the show.

If you still can't get back into the swing of things it may not even be that you hate the show, but are going through a lull. I go back and forth between fandoms. I was CRAZY about Legend of Korra but the long wait between Books 1 and 2 has tempered my enjoyment in fan activities. But as soon as we get a set release date I'll be back to loving it and writing fic!

TL;DR Don't force yourself to enjoy something you don't like, but don't burn your bridges pre-emptively either and be willing to give things a chance. And if you do decide that MLP is no longer for you don't throw away your toys, donate them. It seems to me that would be in the spirit of the show itself (and the brony community) and be a nice way to say goodbye to both, knowing that you've made someone less fortunate happy.
