It would have been nice if the controller ports were installed on the side or front, it was very frustrating to change the controller/mouse all the time playing games =).

The controller ports are on the front of the A2000.  But you refused to buy an A2000 so they tried switching them over to the side on the A3000.  But you refused to buy an A3000 also.  So Commodore concluded that easy access controller ports didn't really affect sales. =)

no kerning, makes all of your printing look amaturish

Amiga kerns perfectly.  Use Pagestream.  Or any good word processor or DTP program.

The 1200 trapdoor.

The amount of physical effort it's taken me to shove my Apollo 1240 in that is beyond belief. Even then, the trapdoor is so shallow that the 68040 fan doesn't fit in the keyboard slant - causing the whole card to poke of the trapdoor - and I've had to mount the Amiga on legs so that the card doesn't touch the desk.

Error: User bought the wrong accellerator.

The 68030 and 68060 cards don't have fans and don't need fans and fit nicely.
