Thing I really hate (today)

Java applets on websites!

Adobe software, and specially PDFs, but the rest of their shit such pretty much too.
(So why can't I find a replacement for Indesign or Photoshop for instance, haven't got a clue?)

Flash IDE environment, it's not programming, it's something else.

I think I hate Java Applets (pretty much all about Java I hate) and Adobe more than I dislike Microsoft. Microsoft maybe striving for monopoly but hey if they are successful it's only because the other guys wasn't good enough. Microsoft product have had a not always bad reputation, some of the stuff they do is accually quite good in comparison.

Things I'm considering switching to Apple and MacOSX though. I'm willing to try it anyway.
Linux on the desktop, haven't been convinced so far.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.
Using webbapplications instead of REAL applications, SUCKS!
The reason is that webbrowsers do not deliver the stability that you expect from a modern OS.
E.g. your browser may crash, because your doing several thing at the same time (as you DO) and one of the things you do is loading PDF file, which crashes the whole fucking thing.
Ok, you could run two different instances of the webbrowser (at least with IE) and if one crashes it only crashes that instance, but when you dont have tab-browsing and if your supposted to keep all things seperat you would consume allot of resources of each instance (because you DO have allot of browser windows going).
And also, the point oyu remember to create the browser in seperate instance is always right after it crashes.

No, ajax webapps are the same thing throwing yourself back in to Windows 95 or MacOS 9, is that really what you want! I suggest you thing about that for a while before going the Ajax route for your next application.

This said it doesn't mean that Ajax is bad for webapps (they already have this problems anyway), just dont try to replace REAL applications with webapps just because Ajax make it look and feel like one.
