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've read a few books on interface design and worked as a UI designer on a few projects. I'm am currently working on improving the Gimp's interface to less sucky than it currently is ;). Photoshop is nearly as horrible as the Gimp from a comparison of a GOMS analysis.

THI is definitely a classic. Every programmer that works with a GUI must read it; just like SICP. The books you mention are the ones that I'd recommend. Other books I'd also recommend are found in the THI bibliography. Most other books I've read on this subject deals with minor improvements in traditional design and have little value as they fail to address the fundamental problems that Raskin addresses.
