My pet peeve is Azure Log Analytics. The query results window has a completely non-standard scrollbar setup, even compared to the rest of Azure. The default result set shows 100% useless columns, all of which have the same constant values repeated for each row. E.g.: "subcription id", "location", etc... The useful values are invariably off-to-the-right somewhere, so you have to scroll horizontally. Which you can. With a 2-pixel thick horizontal scrollbar that fades out and disappears permanently after about a second. You have to be quick, otherwise you miss your chance to see your data. It would be hilarious if it didn't cost me 50 cents each time I had to re-run a query so I can have another try at clicking the vanishing scrollbar before it's too late.

All of azure’s a web UI is a disaster. Breadcrumbs that aren’t really breadcrumbs. “X” that sometimes means back and sometimes means several steps back. … and the browser back button sometimes does what you expect, and sometimes not. “X” stacked directly under one of the aforementioned “X”s, which means close, but the other “X” is back, all on a flat ui with the same background and no border. And yeah, the log analytics that feel like some alien intruder or parasite on the host UI. It’s a monument of UI insanity.

  I still prefer it over AWS, which has separate portals for each product in each region. All of which show random internal identifiers instead of human-readable text. None of which support a folder structure, a technology invented before the advent of computers.

    Every cloud “dashboard” is total shit (there are whole businesses that do nothing but provide a better UI for them, that’s how bad they are) but AWS does indeed take the prize for worst.
