I noticed, it's an unfortunate regression.

What's amazing is how the vibe of using the microwave completely changed. Before it was:

"Okay, how much time?? I've gotta get this right, I only get one shot. Think!!"

to:

"Probably 2 minutes." moves knob, cooking starts "Eh, maybe 90 seconds actually." moves knob again

That alone probably reduces the error rate, and it certainly reduces annoyance.

With the new stoves, I've noticed people are starting to dread using their stove the same way they dread the microwave. Hopefully we can fix both.
