That's one of my biggest pet peeves about modern software. I can't really do 
the subject justice without delving into a giant pile of expletives. But 
worse still is when they decide to go and piss all over not just standard 
looks, but also standard behaviors. Like how the Win build of iTunes will 
still ignore/"eat" any click that brings it to the foreground. If I wanted 
that behavior I'd be running a Mac.

The absolute worst of all though is when an app (*cough* skype *cough*) 
decides that "close" and "the 'close' button" should mean "don't close 
anything at all, but minimize to tray instead". That should be a firing 
squad offense ;) Joking aside though, any of these are guaranteed ways to 
make me lose any and all respect for a piece of software and its developers, 
especially if they're arrogant enough to provide no way to turn such things 
off.
