My biggest pet hate is the single tasking. Which is more to the nature of scripting languages. It would be great to have an event command queue.
<rant>
Each time I do a npm, apt-get, brew command it irks me that all the downloads happen then they unpack, then they process. Where really it should be put on an event command queue. That way downloads can continue whilst processing is happening.
I have the same bug bear about the GUI, if I want to transcode a set of videos and move them to a NAS it's a linear process. I keep promising myself I should write a small app to get it done properly. I just wish the operating system was a little better at it. The main pain point is that if I send 10 files to my NAS it will transfer them all at the same time and take forever because of the seek time. What OS's should be doing is queuing up these things to make the transfer quicker.
