1Password. I hate it because Agile Bits are so user-hostile now. I can't replace it because the alternatives, if they meet our requirements, are even worse.
The software on the Sky Q tv set top boxes, literally can’t replace it. (Sky is a TV service in the UK) It’s clunky to use, particularly with the apps. Things crash all the time and when it decided to do a software update it goes into a spinning loop for hours during which none of the TVs in the house work. Hate it, but the household have decided to keep Sky…
It's idiotic handling of direct messages history with its enforced uneditable limit of number of conversations shown, previous conversations disappear and become unsearchable cost me waste time, wasted nerves and wasted communications.
Android. When holding my phone up to me ear after answering a call, the screen won't switch off and random buttons will then get pressed because you know, I'm holding it against my ear. Can't find any options in the seeing to fix this issue. My wife has exactly the same problem despite using a different make of phone. How can Android fail at the most fundamental task? The alternative of Apple is too expensive for me.…
Signal. I dont like having to tie it to a phone number. I would much rather use email (eg wire) if I need to pick one or the other, but a random session id (eg session, torchat) is much better.

You can uninstall the client after that. I think there's maybe one feature (popout chat windows) that the client has which you can't get in the browser. [1] https://t…
Temas refuses(ed?) to let you hear voice calls if you use Firefox. It's the only reason I have Chromium installed too.
Every website with cookie tracking. Which is every website. Anything electron: massive hog of resources and will never be rewritten on a nonbloated platform. Every single package manager and scheme still seems fundamentally broken and are bad compromises. But there's no money in fixing it so it will always be broken. I salute people doing the thankless work of packaging OSS and language libraries. You are fighting th…

GIMP. If it didn't exist someone would probably have started a fresh effort for an OSS Photoshop alternative which doesn't suck. I've tried soooo hard for decades to become comfortable in GIMP but I can never get close.
