It bugs me that articles about dark matter so frequently frame things as dark matter vs. MOND, and don't consider any of the other theories of modified gravity. I think MOND is just not a great theory and it has a lot of evidence against it by this point; but other theories of modified gravity have not, to my knowledge, been tested to the same extent, nor do they get anywhere near the publicity. Dark matter still seems more likely than modified gravity, but I wish they wouldn't emphasize MOND so much as the representative of modified gravity, and I wish we'd hear more about tests of other modified gravity theories!
