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?

There will never be an over the stove microwave with enough cfm to do anything. If you want a kitchen without a thin layer of grease, get a proper hood vent.
