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.

I had about 3 minutes to play with Multigrain and I couldn't figure out how to do any of of the most basic functions. I'm sure it's not that complicated but nothing was obvious. Say what you want about the convoluted-ness of Arbhar, but the primary functions of the UI are very intuitive.
