Express button microwaves are more annoying than just pressing the amount of time you want

I've held this opinion since I could use a microwave. I absolutely hate express button microwaves. Almost nothing I microwave is perfect in specific 1min, 2min, etc. intervals. Honestly, most of the things I cook aren't even perfect in 30-second intervals. My most common microwave times end in 15 or 45 seconds, occasionally 35.

When I was growing up, we got a new microwave that switched from inserting your time to express buttons and I loathed it every single day. After several years, I moved out into an apartment and the microwave that came with it has no express buttons, and when I microwaved something for the first time, I genuinely almost jumped for joy.

When it comes to the "Cook Time" button, I so frequently forget that it's there and start trying to press the time I want immediately and accidentally placing it for 1 or 2 minutes.

I just find express button microwaves significantly more inconvenient.
