So, work and home.
Work, therefore Windows: has to be a tie between (new) Outlook and VMWare workstation. New outlook is absolute crap, just like all new windows app, I guess it must be Electron-based as it crashes or fails to load sometimes when you open it without connecting to the internet, and displays a blank window. VMware is such crap with poor performance, hang-ups and their fucking "this VM is already in use, take ownership?" dialogs that never work.
Home: I'd say FreeCAD. I mean, I love that they're developing it, I donated and I hope it'll have a similar trajectory to Blender, but right now it's really frustrating to use. Frequent crashes, solving errors, even adding a simple bevel is often a challenge, many simple things require complex procedures that make little sense to new users. It's crazy how, when you add a feature it can't solve, your model just disappears, and you have to open up the diagnostic buffer to find out why.
