I had to vote for the military equip system because in my experiences, it's caused the most fort losses. Axedwarf/woodcutters not using the same axe, crossbowdwarfs not using their bolts, and dwarfs simply not wearing their assigned armor. Most the other bugs have work-arounds and the performance drop issues don't apply unless your fort can survive long enough for it to matter without a functioning military.

[Urist Imiknorris]

The worst thing is probably the clothing bug - IIRC someone found that once a dwarf's clothes started to wear away, that dwarf looked for new clothing to wear every frame. Imagine what that means for a large population with nothing to wear.

[Kastrol Aslaasri]

Poor little Kobolds 

[TantrumTime]

The most annoying bug for me is the way corpses and parts of large animals clutter a workshop.

Well, it was close, but the blunt weapons bug is probably #1 for me. I've never had any formal training, but I'm sure that if I swung a steel hammer, I'd crack an uncovered skull and probably make a satisfying ring emit from a helmeted one. With fixed blunt weapons comes a fixed whip (which was also pretty high on my list, ever since the master lasher incident. *shiver*)

However the clothing related bugs are a serious issue, but I presume they will get fixed once the economy kicks back in. That's the only reason why I didn't vote for them. Also because I modded them out once I saw these issues

[Komra]

One to add to the list- lye reaction using water buckets, becoming useless without a workaround.

[thvaz]

I wish Toady could answer the "why did you ignored this terrible bug" with some "you don't know shit about the code or the development plan so go mind your own business" but he is too polite (and he really needs the money).

Threads just asking the worst bug are fine, though.

[Anathema]

bug #1346 - Adamantine thread used for suturing.

Can we vote for best bug on the list? Cause I love that one.

Seriously though, I voted for "injured dwarves in hospital ignored by idle doctors" - unlike many of the bugs it can't be worked around or fixed in a mod, and it has the most tangible, practical effect on the game.

[DS]

Definitely kobolds. 

[Bloxace]

I miss the Kobolds 

[EveryZig]

I vote for one not listed: Marksdwarf behavior (failing to reload and walking to the wrong side of the wall)

[BackgroundGuy]

I want to vote for 2481 and 3492 simultaneously.  It just bothers me that they do that.  I actually didn't know doctors ignoring patients was a bug and not a quirk of the AI.

[Kogut]

The most annoying bug for me is the way corpses and parts of large animals clutter a workshop.

I replaced
bug #2676 - Fatty tissue has same melting point as rendered fat/tallow, which is far too low (0 votes)
with
bug #231 - Body parts from large creatures (bones, meat, leather, tusks, etc) slow workshops down due to clutter

One to add to the list- lye reaction using water buckets, becoming useless without a workaround.

and replaced
bug #3319 - <SPOILER> Merged with Cavern Layer and Magma Sea (0 votes)
with
Lye, water and buckets  (bug #1324 - buckets full of water were used to produce lye, bug #4230 - bucket with water inside becomes unusable, bug #1236 - buckets contain lye and water, can't be used for anything)

I wish Toady could answer the "why did you ignored this terrible bug" with some "you don't know shit about the code or the development plan so go mind your own business" but he is too polite (and he really needs the money).

It was intended as "why this bug was omitted from this list", not as "I want all bugs fixed! Now! Urist McPlayer has gone berserk!" (maybe here grammar is broken in way that distorted meaning)

I vote for one not listed: Marksdwarf behavior (failing to reload and walking to the wrong side of the wall)

Is it "2697: Military dwarfs won't shoot through fortifications (though hunters will)"?

[Mechanoid]

All of the game bugs that force you to alter or not use a part of the game in order to maintain functionality or your sanity are the worst.

Not wearing new clothes despite dropping xWorn-Outx clothes forcing you to put everyone into a military squad with the uniform clothing of the fortress, the inability to assign a Dungeon Master and forcing you to change all [PET_EXOTIC] to normal [PET] tags (i voted this, because you have to change the raws to fix it; a task that can take a while even with the replace text function) and all the other similar ones are the worst.

Piddly crap like "Dodging into open space" and "adamantine threads for suturing" arn't even bugs, it's either an intentional part of gameplay (all the way back from 2D's chasm and falling-to-death) or something that lacks an interface to control properly (ie: masterpeice cloth being used for dressings)
