What do you dislike about Kodi?

I do not mainly like how difficult it is to add an add-ons, I would like a faster and easier option to add this type of files, there is no official version for Linux, it only works on Debian and Ubuntu, in other distributions it is difficult to compile.

When adding a new add-ons the system takes a long time without giving notice, it makes me think that it hung. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
