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.

x = "I disagree."
y = false
puts x unless y

I miss it when writing python.

Specifically I hate it as a prefix. It's even worse when else clauses become involved!

x = "this is great"
y = "this is awful"
z = false

unless(z)
  puts(y)
else
  puts(x)
end

Despite this being the perfect spot for one, I'm not a fan of ternary operators but syntax isn't supposed to matter...

Since we're going for unpopular opinions or hills to die on: if syntax didn't matter we'd all be using Ada.
