Nothing makes me not want to use software more than it asking questions about how I want to use the software before I've used the software.

Runner up is the "what's new" tutorial overlays.

Well, I suppose everyone is different. The first thing I do after launching a new software is inspect its options, and if it doesn't have a good range of tunable options, there's a good chance I'll immediately abandon it. So I actually really love the recent trend in video games putting you into the options at the start.

Just seeing the words “got it” raises my blood pressure.
