I dislike sandboxes that
- have complicated permissions that users misunderstand or can be tricked into misconfiguring through inattention, misleading user interface or fatigue
- aren't actually sandboxes because the isolation they claim isn't actually achieved (I usually call these "security holes")
- are used to artificially force markets (e.g., Microsoft's UWP)
Other than that, they're great.
