It's not just you, and it becomes a huge pain for those that do lots of deep JVM development with Kotlin. I run into multiple language issues daily, and many of them are just undocumented facets of the language that you find YouTrack issues for.

Many many corner cases are not accounted for, and the way Kotlin is under-spec'd and developed with so many of the IntelliJ libraries, you'll never see any independently developed implementation.

This is not to say the language isn't great, it is. It's only heavy development while focused on lower level aspects that this becomes a constant theme.
