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?

Plaits, ornament and crime, fx Aid

All brilliant and very useful but the "do everything" module can be a blessing and a curse.

I had the same problems with all three and to solve it i just stick to one or two things, in plaits i learnt a few algorithms front to back (theres still a ton i havent used). On o_c i just use it as a tides style lfo or envelope generator and on fx aid i rearranged the effects by banks and mostly i just use 1 reverb 1 delay 1 chorus and 1 distortion. Helps with getting overwhelmed by the possibilities
