List or discussion regarding softwares with the highest haters to benefit to humanity ratio?

Coming up from the hackernews comment [1] on a hackernews post about systemd [2]

I think everyone in the linux community can somewhat agree that systemd gets a lot of hate.

Sure we can have some fair critisms of a project but there is a somewhat fair consensus among people that systemd is hated unfairly in the sense of a benefit to humanity ratio as that orginal comment pointed out.

The point of this gist or discussion which I am looking forward to isn't about systemd but rather trying to compile a list about what are some other softwares and why they are hated etc. as I felt like this was a really interesting topic.

So the question on everybody's mind should now be?

List or discussion regarding softwares with the highest haters to benefit to humanity ratio?

(Side note: I am more than willing to entertain some more questions like the inverse of this question -> lowest haters to benefit to humanity ratio etc too, if you have anything that you wish to speak, I think that you should beacuse it would be interesting!
