Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

Java is overall a good language for getting things done, although not enjoyable to work with (thank god we have Clojure)
the language itself is good. The main issue is that the ecosystem and the designpatterns are so broken (i am looking at you, Robert "clean code" Martin).
My advice for anyone working with java: look at any other ecosystem how to work with designpatterns, and then come back to java and ignore everything the java community tells you about "good practices".
