"If I mis-enter information into a form, your error handling forgets all my information and I have to re-enter it."
This. I have a very short list of architectural must-haves that I use when evaluating junior dev's code at the start of a project, and not having robust error handling that preserves submitted form information is right up near the top.
It's an annoying design mistake with two input elements, unworkable with five, and just plain cruel beyond that.
