For ApplicationInsights in particular the UI is absolutely, horrendously terrible. I'm not a fan of Azure portal in general, but the ApplicationInsights portal in particular has a ton of UI issues that are not just cosmetic but functionally broken.

Startup shows a getting started video even on direct links to my query list or a specific query.
Can't jump directly to a query - always extra steps.
Creation of queries in the UI is confusing as hell
Edit and Save are conflated in meaning. Save creates a new Snippet? WTF? But Ctrl-S saves? WTF?
