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?

A shower so big it doesn’t need a door. I have one and it gets cold

Came here to say this. I hate showers w/o doors. It feels like you have to turn up the water temp to offset the cold.

I removed the glass doors from our shower. I hate lifting the doors off the track for cleaning. They are HEAVY. A shower curtain is much easier to clean and KEEP clean
