The RJ plugs are my least favourite. Still snags but the plastic bit that snags is feeble enough to break off easily, and then the plug doesn't have anything holding it in to the port. And those covers usually make it harder to fit it through holes intended for ethernet cables as well as make it harder to unclip it from the port.

Like the Cisco switch that needed to be recalled due to the placement of it's reset button.

There's really no excuse for that one

What about the slightly larger bonuses that quarter for the executives who had the outside-the-box and paradigm-shifting bright idea to eliminate the V&V department? HUH?

There's probably a dusty old Ferrari buried in some retired rich guy's 7th garage, and all the world had to suffer for it was a few fucked up networks here and there and losing the respect of IT people all over the place.
