I've idly thought of writing a 'manifesto for quality software', and/or trying to start some kind of political-esque movement to that effect. I get annoyed by having to reboot my TV or radio when they freeze up, or by having delays to my channel changes, or having to navigate complex menus to do things that would have just been a physical button click before. (this is all part of the same problem as bloat IMO). This is where the likes of Apple or Dyson do well (or OK) I think. It's not necessarily that they're brilliant at what they do, it's just that the competition is pretty awful.
