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.

UI components that do things when you click on them but don't appear until you hover the mouse over them. I'm mostly talking about stuff like little edit buttons with pencil icons or close/cancel buttons with little X's. I want to select an item from a list or change tabs in my browser, but when I click, I find I am actually now editing the name of the thing or closing/muting a tab because a button that wasn't there before has suddenly appeared beneath my click action. But it also applies to vanishing scrollbars others have complained about.

On that point, I want bigger scrollbars, not smaller ones. Browsers especially could benefit from the kind of minimap I get in a code editor.
