I think 0-index causes a lot of new programmers (and non-programmers) confusion because they aren't used to treating 0 as a counting instance. For example, A.D. 2020 suggests that (allowing for the various changes and debates) Jesus was born 2020 years ago, instead of counting the first year which would make (2021-1 day) years ago. I see this every year around New Year, headlines saying "Actually, it will be [year + 1]"
