Can we agree that touch control instead of knobs is worse UX for often-used functionality?

@gimsieke is this an AEG, the layout is very similar to our relatively new induction hob

I chose ours because the majority are worse than this, they often have one linear quantity control which you have to switch between hobs

The timer is a nuisance, if I have one hob in use, it doesn't necessarily target that as the thing I'm setting the timer for (it'll blindly let you set a timer for a hob that isn't in use), and also it jumps from 10 to 15, 20, etc in 5s, which means to set it at actual 10 you have to sort of slow down by 8 and stab it up to 10 or you'll be at 15 before you know it

Also, the whole interface is useless if you have wet hands - which I admit is a complete unlikelihood if you're in the kitchen etc

but I do like the 'pause button'

@u0421793 What really annoys me is that you can't put anything on the controls. It's just wasted glass-ceramic space. At least it will beep indignantly if you do so lest anything you put there does harm by switching on a hob.
