It helps us feel superior, when we can readily use those lame things without discomfort.
The same kind of superiority of owning a car with manual transmission, when so many unfortunate people can only drive automatics :)

There are different dimensions of "lame", I guess.
I will happily use an old CRT scope without any bells and whistles, and eyeball voltages and times on the printed grid. On the other hand, it got really annoyed that Rigol's on-screen axis labels are such a mess. (Mixing different units on the same axis, and making it really hard to set round values for the labels.)
"Careless and thoughtless" is the flavor of lame that annoys me most...
Smokey:
I paint the color bands on my probes so I don't need to deal with the little plastic rings. I can pick any colors I want. The paint goes in the little slot where the ring would have gone and has so far not worn off after many years, but if it did I would just touch it backup. I've never needed to change a probe's paint color, but if I did I could just paint over it.
I bet nail polish would work pretty well here too.

If you talk about poor product design, then I am with you every time. Having a bad user interface on a product would upset me too.

Yes you can! And so can i, but you know, i am german, and i want to recognize the right probe/color in less than 100ms, and also in not so perfect light conditions.

Fortunately, the color intensity can be adjusted for many scopes.
You can't just change its color.
I just noticed that I set it to 100% for Rigol, but 50% was enough for Micsig.

The screen printing on the DHO800 is off compared to the DHO1000:
But yes, selectable trace color would be the best.
