What are the modern design trends you hate most? Feel free to rant! Mine are:

Physical buttons are out of fashion, now EVERYTHING must have a touch screen instead! Especially if it makes the appliance more inconvenient to use. Like having to press a flimsy touch screen ten times to scroll through a washing machine's programs instead of just turning a physical knob and pressing a physical start button.

Every website looks like it's made for a phone and was vomited by the same app in slightly different flavors of vomit.

Actually EVERYTHING looks like it's made for a phone... Like what's the deal with all those hamburger menus on DESKTOP apps? Please just put a regular menu and same me some pointless clicking, it's not like you're lacking screen space. I especially hate that those menus can't be opened from the keyboard like regular menus.

I bought a dryer and it has "AI Dry." Which I'm fairly sure is not. It's just the "sensor dry" feature that dryers have had for decades. Except I can't control the amount of heat (no "low heat" option) so it ends up being fairly useless. This is also the default option whenever the dryer turns on, so yay.

Moved into a rental to find that all the kitchen appliances were "modern" - meaning zillions of touchy "buttons" for things maybe two people on the planet would ever actually use, all burying finding the things normal people would actually use.

I still have to figure out how to run the dishwasher. Spouse thought they had it figured out, only to have it run for 10 minutes and stop for no discernible reason. Apparently they set it to "option 20" by accident and that meant "just run a rinse". You have to set it to "option 52" to actually wash the dishes. Ah! I see.

I'm a big fan of option 53 myself.

We recently bought a dryer and it's "eco mode" means we gotta run it two or three times before things are dry. How the eff is that eco at all???

Don't get me started on eco on the washer. Too late, it means there won't be enough water to COVER ALL THE CLOTHES.
