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.

What's the point of smartphone colors that will get completely covered by the phone case? And don't tell me phone cases are not necessary, I've accidentally dropped my phone enough times!

(I'm on my 4th smartphone in about 12 years, and I've never scratched or cracked a screen)

On the occasion that I have the option to pick a cool color, I will pick a cool color over a boring one.

It shifts your thinking from whether or not to get the phone, to which color of the phone to get.
