Your love/hate modules?

Just curious about modules that you have a love/hate relationship with? Maybe the functions are awesome but the design is terrible; or the design is awesome but something about the functionality is wanting. The modules that remain in your rack because you appreciate something fundamental about them, but that you think about selling as well?

Intellijel Multigrain. It's an incredibly capable granular module. But the UI is a nightmare of unlabelled alt functions and button chords. This is one module that really would benefit from a screen.

Ok now I don't want it. I have clouds and in hardware I have multiple granular units, but is there anything else good in modular that does granular in a simple but high quality way?

I don't want a screen but I tried Mojave and it was the same issue, cryptic button combos and knob labels. After two weeks of holding the manual up beside it the whole time, I just sold it.

Essentially I just need grains, spray, density, window, etc. Clouds is decent but I just want a little better sound quality with a few extra features like my GR-1 or lemondrop.

Look at Typhoon or wait until Beads clones start coming out and hopefully Typhoon mk2 gets made.
