• ArcView 3 for Windows (as mentioned above). Sometimes it would crash if you didn't do anything at all!
• Not supporting compound key relationships to joined tables (in fact, be careful using anything other than a long int!)
• Documentation versus user support (and documentation AND user support): I once contacted them for something in MapObjects that made no sense. Apart from the support stating the opposite of what was in the documentation (and still making no sense) they told me the behaviour was by design (not a chance!)
• Arbitrarily changing the ArcObjects COM API between functions and subs and vice-versa, so breaking client code
• Their ridiculous licencing model and enforcement tools (which broke my abstraction layer solution to the previous point)
• There are almost certainly many more that I have successfully purged from my brain
