I feel like just in the past few months they've all tanked in usability. Amazon is almost physically painful to navigate now... They used to be the "gold standard" in interactivity with how everything kinda got you where you wanted to go (I know it's been a long road, but it's literally all AI slop now and I can't even scroll without something becoming a popup).

Lowe's and Home Depot are just as bad. Useless search, constantly shifting UI. AI generated photos.

Fuck it. I'm only shopping at McMaster Carr from now on. I don't need a fancy magnetic knife rack from a 6 letter lifestyle company that's been around as long as a fruit fly. I'm getting an 18in Screw Mount Magnetic Tool Holder with 1 1/8in depth that's RoHS 3 compliant and comes with free CAD models.

It feels like a productivity tool. I can find exactly what I want in like 5 clicks/keystrokes max. Absolutely beautiful web design that every site should be like. Especially since each catalog entry has exactly what you'd need to know right there in front of you.
