What do you HATE in Computing?

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-25 10:56 ID:Z55LfR4U

and why?
I'll start,


C++, shit confusing language full of crap. dumb kids like it and do half arsed jobs of difficult tasks without understanding what they're doing with it. Dealing with C++ someone else wrote is fucking horrendus too.

Java hatred, Stop being a fucking idiot java is useful at times. Why is it still cool to hate java?

Python, ONE WORD, FORCED INDENTATION OF THE CODE, THREAD OVER.

I understand that it will not be forgotten, but what are the detrimental effects of having a command line that needs to be expressly confirmed or dismissed? They do not seem huge to me. I may not use cruise control on city streets, but I sure don't want to hold my shifter in the proper gear either. In the case of a command line, how the hell am I going to forget that I'm in the middle of typing a command?

While I can accept the argument for large numbers of modes and for modes you could easily forget you're in, it sounds an awful lot to me like he's taken anti-modality to the point of zealotry. Is there any science specifically on the subject of command lines that will be typed in the space of a few seconds then explicitly confirmed/denied?
