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.

The unless keyword is an abomination

x = "I disagree."
y = false
puts x unless y

I miss it when writing python.

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

In that case it's just a synonym for

if (not z)

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.
