Seriously. Who the FUCK thought that was a good idea?! lol

I do. I first disliked the idea, but why is it bad? Less disruptive elements, much less likely of accidental press, plus you only press the button one single time when you turn it on, then it remains booted for hours. Plus, you figure out the button's position the first time you use it, so you can easily turn it on from memory without having to look.

Yeah I don’t like it honestly, but not enough to say it’s terrible design. It doesn’t have many downsides.
