Xcode: don't use it every day but damn it is unnecessarily weird and unintuitive. It's clearly something designed for the people who know it and nobody else.
Mac Mail, but unfortunately the alternatives suck too and I hate web mail.
I am gradually migrating to Notion instead of Evernote but I am stuck with the other two.
Docker. I use it and love it every day in both dev and prod, but I also really kind of hate it. I'll keep my complaints short. There should not be a system-wide daemon. (Or any daemon). It should not require root at all (no setuid either). From outside the container, the container and its processes should be a single process (with threads). (Like glueing a bunch of processes together.) The containers should be nest-a…
Google Drive. I have no idea how a company with a search background produced software where it is impossible to find something.
Everyone one of these cloud storage services (Dropbox, Box, Drive, iCloud, S3, OneDrive) has adopted the same mental model of file storage that computer systems from the 80s devised to mimic filing cabinets. Namely: folders. I think a folder hierarchy has some value but they should really all be using a tagging system instead. Orgs tend to have multiple hierarchies based or org charts, projects, disciplines, timeline…
Finder on Macs. I've used a Mac for over 5 years and it still amazes me how unintuitive it is for basic tasks like copying and pasting files, creating new directories, etc.
Copying and pasting are universally hotkey+c and hotkey+v as an example. Creating a directory is context->new in all cases.
Some changes were weird for a small period of a few days, like when moving from Classic Finder to Mac OS X Finder where the priority of hotkeys for new windows vs. new directories changed. Or when in Windows the address bar got a lower priority than filesystem abstraction of user directories (at which point the purpose got mixed). Same with Gnome2 to Gnome3.
I'm curious to see if it's "hard" as-is, or "hard" when you come from one single environment with a lot of experience that is hard to adapt to something that is not visually identical.
* Jira - over-engineered, unnecessarily complex and utterly slow. * Zoom - worst video conference product __EVER__. Can't say a single good word about it. * AWS admin console - same as jira, at least it's not slow. * VPNs in general annoy me beyond reason too. At this point I use a raspberry pi to connect to the vpn and I use it as an SSH access server (and tunnel respectively).
