all languages have their faults, but i'll say this.
we are in the 21st century. 1000 times better to use the alphabet than fucking pictograms

Cyrillic is pretty straightforward. It's definitely better than Latin.
Japanese Hiragana/Katakana too, but since it's only a part it doesn't count.
You'd be surprise but Hebrew has a pretty "stable" script. It might look "messy" due to diacritics, but once you've learned the few rules there are, it won't be a problem to read anything without mistakes. However the problem comes that in daily life people usually omit diacritics, so a non-fluent person might have trouble reading the word correctly without them.

Not true anymore after sound shifts ruined the distinctions between ט-ת, כ-ק, and among most speakers ח-כ and ע-א

The distinction is being lost, but it doesn't makes it more difficult to read. Maybe only at writing slightly.

Unlike russian, the stressed syllable is 100% predictable if the word is correctly written, and unlike german (and many other languages) our borrowings also adhere to these rules.

If there's even such a thing as stressed syllables it's not the best

We don't use the letter "z"? Seriously?

Yes

I don't think danish and norwegian have the letter X.
