What drives me mad is when you have library writers who try to "protect" you from the underlying system by translating everything you do into what they "think" you're trying to do.
What drives me mad is when allegedly cross-platform tools deliberately propagate non-cross-platform quirks that could easily be abstracted away and pretend that's somehow "helping" me instead of making a complete wreck of the whole point of cross-platform. Bonus points if they're doing it mainly to help with my C++-standard premature optimizations.
If I actually want to deal with platform-specific quirks, then I'll use the platform's API directly. (And then I'll beat myself with a brick, just for fun.)
