Dependencies requiring you edit some random XML file somewhere on your machine to get them working.
That and the whole JVM fragmentation and not being able to touch Oracle because it's Oracle and they'll use it as an excuse to sue you (at least that's the impression I had, the entire lawsuits thing is why I left Java back in the day).
You can say the same about other package managers, but it's not very often that I have to add another source to apt unless I'm running in a locked-down environment.

No it doesn't. That's only if you're dealing with private maven repos and authentication etc. You don't need to do that at all for the use case in this thread, running a project from github.
Like the C and C++ compiler fragmentation, each with their own flavour of ISO support, UB and language extensions?
Or the Go compiler fragmentation, where only the reference compiler supports everything, tinygo a subset, and gccgo left to die in Go pre-generics era.
