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.

      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

          yes, and? Having to translate unless to if not is basically exactly why I hate it. Just write if not

        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.
