Phantom Feature

A useful and expected feature that is mysteriously lacking in a similar or competing product.

Expecting said feature to be present and then being unpleasantly surprised by its absence.

Using a device with the expectation that said features will be present.

Technical analogue to phantom limb

After years of Firefox and Chrome, I can't bear to use IE for all the phantom features
