One of the things I find most frustrating is dealing with "IDE Developers", meaning those "developers" who cut their teeth on
Microsoft tools and never learned how to even set their PATH let alone their classpath.

And why the heck should they? Any decent software worth it's salt doesn't make the user touch their classpath :)

And whenever I want to use two components built by such "decent" software, I inevitably find that they both use a common component. Unfortunately, component "A" only supports the use of versions up to version N-1 of that common component, and component "B" only supports version N+1 of that common component or later.
