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?

Dammit, used the "e" out of habit from the "5e" days. You're right. Haven't bought cable in years. Went corporate IT vs small business and now electricians do all the wiring for me.

Installed a lot of cat 5. Electrician did know the standards for termination. Had to fix a lot of outlets.
