re: House design features that bother you

Idk man, maybe my family is different but we like being around each other. All have our own individual hobbies for alone time when needed.
Leaving the hood vent on the highest setting is my main annoyance, so I hear you on that part.
Outside of sports and Saturday mornings, we rarely watch TV before dinner anyway. I also have a full outdoor kitchen for when I’m cooking all day, but I get that not everyone has that. Wife likes to bake, so our kitchen is never closed

As she's become famous, she's gotten less Waco and more worldly. Their more recent shows when they do one big project, they've been way less cheeseball small town.
Early seasons was ship lap vomit covered in big clocks and cursive sayings on the wall
Still not my style, but she's adapting

See, I have a massive copper vent hood that vents directly to outdoors, and it is LOUD and I use it the entire time I am cooking.
That alone would make the living room unusable for TV watching.
My husband normally sits in the kitchen with me while I cook dinner on weeknights (we don't have kids), so obviously the option is still there to be in the same room, but if it's say Masters weekend and I'm spending the entire day loudly cooking crawfish bisque with my music going, I imagine it would be super annoying for him.
EDIT: We don't have an outdoor kitchen, but it's future plans. That obviously changes your situation.
Our old house was ranch style and wasn't open concept, but the kitchen had a little sitting area/living area even though we also had a closed-off living room elsewhere. That was perfect.

I know it's popular in some areas, but I'm not a fan of of stucco homes.

Do you prefer the old faded yellow/orange brick from the 70s?
Lots of old buildings I see with that brick would look a lot better if painted.

Yeah, if it’s LSU games the TV volume is already way up. For the Masters, we might have a problem if the wife is washing dishes or that vent is on.
I guess my open concept appeal comes with the caveat of being spacious. Some of these new houses are built with open concept to save money and cram the living room, dining, and kitchen together. That would be a no-go for me.
Pros and cons to both. Even my scenario of get togethers is flawed. Yea, it’s nice that everyone was together in 1 “room” for Christmas. But I’d be lying if I said I very much enjoyed the peace and quiet the minute everyone left. Sounded like a basketball gym in there.

For sure.
Definitely think space is the biggest caveat here. I definitely can fully admit I have the luxury of loving closed concept because our house had a ton of square footage additions previous owners made over the 100 years it has been around.
Closed concept was a lot trickier in our previous home in the sense that our living room was too small to have people over to watch games.
One of my best friends converted her small home to be open, and I have a hard time imagining how small her kitchen had to have been prior.
I would own a lot less artwork I love if I didn't have all these walls it's all hanging on, so that is a nice plus.

It's not so much a closed concept, or zoned, problem, as it is a square footage problem.
If you've got lots of space then zoned works wonderfully,
If you are cramped then knocking walls out makes that lack of square footage seem roomier, at the expense of having actual rooms. Just an amalgam of space.

Big vaulted ceilings.
Yeah they look cool until the paint and drywall tape starts to peel because it’s always 98 degrees up there and you need scaffolding to reach it. Also the heat runs nonstop when it gets cold.

It’s the most used room in the house. Zero issues with this.
