Noticed a big shift in how we handle drawer fronts

Ten years back, every drawer front was a solid slab of wood. We'd spend hours hand fitting them. Now, 9 out of 10 jobs use inset fronts with overlay hinges. The change came around 2018 when frameless cabinets got really popular. Clients want that clean, modern look. It saves a ton of time on the install too. Anyone else find themselves doing way more inset work now?

Remember when a bad fit was just called "character"? Now it's a callback.

Yeah @evan_campbell, now every old mistake gets a fancy name to make it seem smart.

My old boss used to call typos "authentic voice" in our client emails. Last week I saw a website with broken links labeled "retro navigation". It's like we're all just making up fancy words for stuff we're too lazy to fix.
