What do you HATE in Computing?

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.

Ahh, a properly recursive post.

I've been planning to read it. I hear it's got science, but I'm wondering if there is any on this specific topic (or something else that applies without a lot of assumptions). The question in my mind is whether people make fewer entry errors with a quasimodal command line than with a modal line. Ideally I'd like to see something like the following: an experiment in which subjects enter commands on an Enso (the proper name for the program I mentioned earlier -- I was thinking of their older effort) style command line and on a command line that has a key to summon it and requires either a key press to confirm or cancel. Subjects would go down a list of words and enter them into the command line. From this I would like to see error rates (number of aborted or mistyped words), time taken to input the words, and a survey taken at the end asking each subject how they felt about the input style. This would be very interesting in the event that there was no clear difference in efficiency between the two systems, and somewhat interesting otherwise.

My worry is that his approach to this particular interaction task is a little too theoretical, and not enough practical. So I'm asking now, to satisfy my curiosity until I have a copy in my hands, whether the book sciences on this task or something very similar.
