Software "Hate list"

Proprietary

• Most of. Reinventing the wheel is not a good idea even in software development. Hard to tinker with when necessary.

Free

• CVS. Accumulated lots of "fixes" which break any assumptions about interface. Can be reliable manipulated only by cvs(1). Brain-damaged design of hooks. Lack of changesets. CVSNT.
• Eclipse. Resource hog.
• Emacs. Lacks controlled cross-module code/data protection.
• Firefox. Keyboard focus is buggy and unfixable. Lack of consistent user interface.
• Git. Horrible user interface.
• OTRS. Horrible internals.
• Perl. Too much marketing for horrible language.
• Python. Lacks marketing.
• Rails. Too much hype.
