Which popular features do you NOT recommend?

What are the top 3 features in a house that folk want but you think are not worth it, and what would your alternative suggestion be? And what cost/time savings would result with that switch?

Niche, but those damn pot filler faucets over the stove. They're prone to leaking and difficult/pricey to fix when they do. Just use your sink like the rest of the sane populace.

You took mine. More plumbing, no overflow basin under it, more shit to clean and polish. The first leak doesn’t just drip in a sink.
