That reminds me of some work I did with WiX which felt needlessly painful

That falls in the category of "similar ilk"
You can lead a developer to CodeProject, but you can't make them think.

Wix is a priceless skillset. True it seems trivial from the outside looking in but the power and flexibility of that framework makes developers who have mastered it extremely valuable.

COBOL and derivatives. I have hundreds of year experience with that(those).
I actually love javascript and even VB.NET.

I think I will have to pull MFC from the mix even though I have written over 1 million lines of MFC code on paying job. I mean I don't recall writing a single line of MFC since 2008. These days I am primarily a Qt developer.

VAX BASIC
Non-development jobs
I prefer to leave in stuff I don't like (e.g. VB.net) just to show breadth of experience and willingness to try new things..
I'm doing mostly SSIS now and though it's not fun (nor even a language), I'll still include it.

Was it the BASIC you mostly objected to or the VAX?
I worked for about 15 years in VAX/VMS with Fortran and FMS, some C in the latter years.

The BASIC. Though actually I bought a MicroVAX 3100 specifically to experience the VAX BASIC interactive environment again.
I never used Fortran outside college. I worked with VAX and Alpha VMS systems from 1989 until 2002 -- mostly with C. The VAX BASIC was only on my co-op job -- because that's what the boss knew.
OpenVMS is still the greatest operating system available.

SharePoint, definitely. Most other .NET technologies as well.

I love working with .Net. I hate SharePoint. Took that one off my résumé as well.

But how do you really feel about InstallShield?

I have a day off and I wanted to have a nice day, but it's ruined now that I had to think of this so I might as well post it... Crystal Reports.

I love writing code and especially creating UIs. It's my passion and I have put up with a lot of cruddy, unintuitive languages and development environments to follow my bliss.
Some of the more arduous technologies I've encountered would be:
Embedded FORTH - well actually, any FORTH for that matter
The inaptly named NATURAL and its backend ADABAS
VC++ 6 MFC - Creating any sufficiently complex UI was akin to attempting suicide with a hammer.
COM/ActiveX - it was a nice idea that got lost in the implementation. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Anything involving Eclipse! (now where did I put that hammer?)
InstallShield
LISP - that syntax, oh the humanity!
But I really enjoy using LEX & YACC, so what does that say about me?
Cheers,
