Your first three options are basically synonymous with each other

1. Verbosity.  Seriously, things that take 80 syllables can be expressed in 50 syllables or less in English.  Words are way too long.
2. Reformed grammar.  Adjective endings for plurals of different genders became one.  Languages should be simplified, but not at the price of losing unambiguity.  Think of the poor parser writers.
3. Non-latin1 symbols.  It's easier after virtually everyone adopted UTF/UCS.
4. Names of some dishes, not to mention that they are almost universally used wrong.
5. Rich slang libraries and applicable obscene combinators.

Enjoy your incomplete installation.
Also, you're noticeably out of date. Upgrade.

Guys, stop putting ``list comprehension'' in 4.

Doesn't matter, compiler is still small.

(Haskeru)
1. Monomorphism restriction
2. Could not construct the infinite type: a = [a] (Please tell me which two expressions conflict, especially if a function has multiple patterns or guards!)
3. Category theory
4. Combinators/pointfree style
5. Type classes/polymorphic types

(English)
1. People who don't want to learn their own language.
2. I want more fuqin suffixes, damn it.
3. Understanding southerners. But that's okay, because of №5.
4. Archaic words.
5. Huge amounts of regional variation.

VB.Net

1.Hate.
Gets confused with VB 6. Idiots don't know its a perfectly suitable language for desktop apps and web apps.

2.Don't like.
Idiots think its too verbose. Any decent IDE will complete statements for you. typing If [statement] enter produces:
If [statement] Then

End If

Better than C syntax faggotry:
if()
{
} //if

3.Struggle with.
How awesome Visual Studios dynamic compilation of VB.Net is (none for C#). Syntax errors are caught immediately instead of at compile time.

4.Use way too much.
Tail recursion without having to specify some faggy operator.

5.Want to be implemented in every language.
Lack of case sensitivity. It is fucking useless.

There's always gonna be idiots, they always will outnumber you and you can't make them stop being idiots. And you can't kill them either unless you have fantasies about being ass-raped in prison.

See how confused you are right now. Learn to not be an idiot, then maybe you will be able to write some programs.
