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.

It's painful to learn and set up. Looking at other people's code is horrifying. I looked at a portion of Godot code and the amount of headers defined is actually retarded. A lot of the c++ function names are a remnant of not well thought out ideas. It's also normal to have thousands of lines of code for a small portion of a small project?? The only way I see it being used is through vibe coding. You can't tell me it's easier to look at someone's C++ than their Python project.
