    Great question. Had to think about it and I’d say for me personally, poor implementation of color pickers is the biggest frustration.

    As a technical user, I have no qualms w/ editing the default selection if it’s hard to read due to colors, but I get frustrated with poor color picker implementation. For example, color swaths that don’t have named descriptions when you hover over there (yes even the ‘easy’ colors on the first page of a color picker like ROYGBIV).

    Another less straightforward issue is something like KDE’s Konsole has a color picker that doesn’t have clear names/examples where colors are represented, so when I wanted to change the bash custom prompt color, I had to edit 5-6 different options and through trial and error get to the correct option. Here, if it were possible to better name the options, it’d go a long way towards me better customizing my terminal
