What do you hate the most about software development?

[NewsBot]

Brian Beckman frequently derides the difficulties present when one attempts to do something as simple as, adding a textbox control onto a webform. His derision is poited squarely at the amount of technologies one has to know to add a textbox control, get the CSS, databind it etc.

 

He does have a point, it is a bit of a headache!

 

One of the things at the top of my hate list is learning third party datagrid controls, coming to think of it, even the winforms one. There is no easy way to learn grids from any of the main vendors i.e. infragistics/component one/devexpress etc, yet their mastery is essential to having a polished application.

 

By the time one learns that 10000000 settings needed to do a simple thing, your're nothing short of tearing your hair out.

 

What do you dislike most, and what can be done better to alleviate the problem?
