Nostalgia thread, judgment-free: the old UPCS world had its comforts — predictable defect lists, familiar point values, inspectors you had known for years. What do you genuinely miss, and what would you never take back? Bonus: the one UPCS-era trick that still works under NSPIRE.

I'll start the honesty: I miss knowing some inspectors for years — you learned how they read the book, and the day had a rhythm. I do not miss arguing about cosmetic defects as if they carried the same weight as a dead smoke alarm, and I would never hand back the severity focus. The old system had comforts; the new one has priorities I can defend to a resident. Honest answers only — what do you genuinely miss about the UPCS days, and what would you never take back?
